The NHLPA released their 2023-24 player polls and the Vegas Golden Knights arena made its way onto a couple of lists.
T-Mobile Arena was voted as the toughest arena to play in as a visiting team. It won with 31.36% of the votes. PNC Arena was the next closest with 16.31% of the votes. Out of a total of 558 votes, T-Mobile Arena received 175.
T-Mobile Arena also finished fifth in the arena with the best ice receiving 5.08% of the votes. The Bell Centre (Montreal Canadiens) was the runaway favourite followed by Rogers Place (Edmonton Oilers), Canadian Life Centre (Winnipeg Jets) and Xcel Energy Centre (Minnesota Wild). This list was in the exact same order as last season's poll.
In last season's poll, Phil Kessel finished second in voting for best locker room guy, just behind former Golden Knight, Marc-Andre Fleury. Las Vegas was also voted as the best road city to have a day off in.
Jack Eichel was surprisingly left off the most complete player list. Sidney Crosby led in that category with Aleksander Barkov, Anze Kopitar, Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon rounding out the rest of the top five.
