Vegas back home after near-month away to face Hurricanes

The Vegas Golden Knights will play their first home game in almost a month on Saturday night when they host the Carolina Hurricanes in Las Vegas.

The Golden Knights last played at T-Mobile Arena on Jan. 11 when they heard their fair share of boos while getting blanked by Elvis Merzlikins and the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-0. Vegas then played its next eight games on the road sandwiched around a nine-day break for its bye and the NHL All-Star Game.

Following the first of those eight road games -- a 4-2 loss at Buffalo on Jan. 14 -- the Golden Knights fired head coach Gerard Gallant and replaced him with Peter DeBoer, who had been fired a little over a month earlier by San Jose.
