Knights roster hopefuls get ‘opportunity’ in exhibition opener

Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant believes the final three exhibition games are about preparing the NHL roster for the regular season.

The first few contests on the seven-game docket, which begins Sunday with a 5 p.m. matchup against the Coyotes at T-Mobile Arena, have different goals attached.

“It’s early in training camp,” Gallant said Saturday after the second day of organized practices for veterans. “I’m not putting a lot into these games. For me, the last three games are really important for us, but these upcoming games are about giving guys some opportunites.”

It won’t be all prospects on the ice for the Knights.
