The four goals scored by the Golden Knights during the first period of Tuesday night’s home opener each held their own significance, from Tomas Nosek’s goal to James Neal’s tally on the power play that capped the blitz.
But it was Deryk Engelland’s goal that seemed to hit most everyone at T-Mobile Arena.
Engelland, a longtime Las Vegas Valley resident, had the Knights’ second goal in the 5-2 victory over Arizona, and the moment continued to resonate around the locker room Wednesday at City National Arena.
