Snaps From Seattle's 3-0 Shutout of Vegas on New Year's Day

All day long we're featuring photo albums sorted by subject from Monday's Winter Classic. 

Previously, we spotlighted goalie Joey Daccord, game action photos, and the venue itself, T-Mobile Park.

The game, of course, is the "steak" of the Winter Classic. What makes it a much-anticpated date on each season's NHL calendar is the "sizzle." That's what we focus on in this photo collection.

Editor's Note: All photos were shot by Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports.
