The first Western Conference game of the season featured the two latest expansion teams last night as the Seattle Kraken traveled to Sin City to take on the Vegas Golden Knights. Unlike when Vegas traveled on the road for their first game versus the Dallas Stars, the newest expansion team did not pull off the win.
Instead, the Kraken made a storm drive to make the game close before eventually losing on a goal that created a little bit of controversy thanks to ambiguity in the “kicking motion” rule. So congratulations to the newest fan base, you are officially welcomed to the NHL where the rules are made up and the consequences can be massive.
