Golden Knights Open Season Against Avalanche

The Vegas Golden Knights are set to open their NHL season against the Colorado Avalanche at the T-Mobile Arena. The Knights are entering their eighth season with a new lineup, including Jack Eichel centering the first line alongside Mark Stone and Ivan Barbashev, after losing key players like Jonathan Marchessault to free agency. Colorado, despite injuries to key players like captain Gabriel Landeskog and Valeri Nichushkin, remains a formidable opponent with Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar leading the charge. Last season, Vegas had a solid home record of 28-13-3, while Colorado boasted a +50 goal differential. This matchup is highly anticipated as both teams have won Stanley Cups in recent years and hope to make strong starts to their respective seasons. NHL betting odds favor the Avalanche, but Vegas is determined to prove its championship potential.
