LAST TIME OUTThe Golden Knights fell to the Colorado Avalanche, 4-2, in their final road game of the preseason on Tuesday night at Ball Arena. Tanner Laczynski and Joe Fleming scored the only goals for Vegas as the team fell to 2-3-0 in exhibition play.
2024-25 SEASON SERIES
Vegas posted a 1-0-2 mark against Colorado last season in three meetings. The Golden Knights opened the 2024-25 campaign with an 8-4 win against the Avalanche on Oct. 9 at T-Mobile Arena. Ivan Barbashev (2G, 2A) and Jack Eichel (4A) each had four points in the win. Colorado evened the season series with a 2-1 shootout victory on Nov. 27 at Ball Arena and picked up another shootout win on April 8 as the Avalanche won the last matchup of the year, 3-2, in Denver. Barbashev led the Golden Knights with five points (2G, 3A) against Colorado last season.
KEYS TO THE GAME
6/7: The Golden Knights will play their sixth of seven preseason games on Wednesday night. Vegas will look to put out an effort that will be a step closer to what the team aims to achieve on Opening Knight on Oct. 8. And no, we don't know what "six seven" means. Neither does Elliotte Friedman.
Strong Offense: Vegas has only scored three goals once during the preseason and needed overtime to do it. As the lineup starts to look more and more like it will in a week, the team's scoring touch should return.
