The Golden Knights open a five-game homestand Tuesday when they host the Buffalo Sabres at T-Mobile Arena.
Opening faceoff is at 7 p.m.
“We’ve had a couple days off here and now we’ve got a big game against Buffalo,” coach Gerard Gallant said. “It’s five straight at home with not a heavy schedule. It’s over two weeks, so hopefully we’ll play real well tonight and get it off on the right foot.”
Defenseman Brad Hunt will replace injured defenseman Deryk Engelland (undisclosed) in the lineup and skate with Jon Merrill.
Engelland was injured during Saturday’s 1-0 victory at Philadelphia and is day to day, according to Gallant.
