It’s an honor to cover the first-ever regular season game between the Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights. Having just visited Las Vegas last week for the first time in several years, I’ve developed a newfound appreciation for the ever-expanding, never-sleeping city, where possibilities feel endless under the sun.
Against new teams, I’d be excited at the prospect of a sure win. But these fast-playing, 11-6-1 Nevadans are no ordinary expansion team. Rejected by their former teams, they, like many others, have resettled in the Silver State to reboot their lives and careers.
