The Vegas Knights had their first home game and they won in strong fashion 5-2 over the Arizona Coyotes (who to their credit were class acts and stayed on the ice after the game to salute the crowd). The Knights’ 3-0 start has made it clear that this team is more competitive out of the gate than previous expansion teams in the inaugural season. Part of that, of course, is landing a starting goaltender of Marc-Andre Fleury’s caliber, but the expansion draft rules clearly favored making the Knights a more competitive team than we’ve seen in the past.
