Golden Knights assign inaugural uniform numbers

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will wear a new jersey this season, but will keep the same number he always has.
Fleury, claimed by the Golden Knights in the NHL Expansion Draft, will continue wearing No. 29. It was the number he wore in his 13 seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Golden Knights received their numerical assignments Wednesday, among them forward James Neal, who will continue to wear No. 18, which he has done for nine seasons with the Dallas Stars, Penguins and Nashville Predators.
Forward Reid Duke, the first player to sign a contract with the Golden Knights, on March 6, will wear No. 37.
The Golden Knights open training camp Sept. 14, and play their first preseason game Sept. 17 at the Vancouver Canucks.
