They’ve been turning heads and winning hearts since opening night Oct. 6.
Now, with Christmas approaching, the Golden Knights continue to make history while winning at an unprecedented pace. Thursday’s 2-1 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins was the latest chapter of the team’s amazing story in its inaugural season.
In getting to 20 wins in their 31st game, the Knights became the fastest NHL team to reach that mark for a first-year franchise. The 1926-27 New York Rangers took 35 games to reach 20 wins and the 1967-68 Philadelphia Fers needed 41 games.
