Vegas Golden Knights look to pick up second win in preseason; expected to play more rostered players.
The Vegas Golden Knights wrap up their home portion of the preseason, hosting the 2021-22 Stanley Cup champions, Colorado Avalanche, 7 p.m. tonight at T-Mobile Arena.
William Karlsson and Alec Martinez will not play, per Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy. Both are dealing with small injuries that the team wants to heal before the regular season opener against Seattle.
The Golden Knights will look more like an NHL roster with all of the lines being composed of players who played last year for the Golden Knights big roster.
The Avalanche will also field an NHL-caliber roster, making this one an interesting outing for both teams.
Here are the lines for both teams:
