Seattle Kraken vs Vegas Golden Knights
The Vegas Golden Knights open defense of their Stanley Cup championship on Tuesday night when they host the Seattle Kraken in Las Vegas.
The Golden Knights traded veteran forward Reilly Smith to Pittsburgh for a third-round draft pick but the rest of the top three lines, led by Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Marchessault and leading playoff scorer Jack Eichel, as well as the top three defensive pairs and goaltender Adin Hill, all return.
"It should be a great atmosphere," Eichel, who had two goals and three assists in the final preseason tune-up, said."Obviously, every night in T-Mobile is special but it will be a real cool one having the banner raised. Then it's onto business. I think after that happens, turn the page and start building.""I don't think we're thinking about that now," he said."You know, it's a long season. A lot of steps as a team you need to take to get there.
Seattle coach Dave Hakstol, a finalist for the Jack Adams Award that is awarded annually by the NHL Broadcasters' Association to"the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success," felt the Kraken, who lost 2-1 in Game 7 to the Stars, made good progress in just their second year of existence. Seattle went from 60 points in its inaugural season to 100 in Year 2.
