Before the game, Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury and Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray shared a moment during warmups. This is the first time these two players met up on the ice since defeating the Nashville Predators in the Stanley Cup Finals. And ironically, they’re now on separate teams.
The building at T-Mobile Arena was electric when the Vegas Golden Knights announced their starting lineups. Former Pittsburgh Penguin Deryk Engelland got a pretty big reaction from the crowd, but there was one player who absolutely brought the roof down. I never heard a louder fan reaction for a player more than “The Flower” last night.
