Vegas looks to continue strong run of play at home with game against Coyotes.
The Vegas Golden Knights return home for game against the Arizona Coyotes tonight at.7 p.m. at T-Mobile Arena.
“[The Coyotes are] coming along.,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said. “Every year, they've gotten a little better. Looks like they've taken another step this year.”
Logan Thompson will start in goal.
Alec Martinez will miss his second consecutive game with a lower-body injury, while Shea Theodore will miss the game with an upper-body injury.
“We're going to get [Theodore’s injury] looked at today. We'll let you know if he’s traveling on the road trip tomorrow, but he’s out tonight,” Cassidy said. ““I don’t know how long ‘Marty’ will be [out]. … My guess is closer to a week to 10 days, probably, but who knows right now.”
The Golden Knights finished a five-game road trip 2-2-1 and will go back on the road for a three-game road trip to Canada on Monday.
