The coach confirmed yesterday that Anders Nilsson (0-1-0) would get the start tonight as he looks to lock down his first win of the season in some hostile territory. Nilsson's lone start of 2019-20 came against the defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues where he stopped 31 of the 26 shots he faced in defeat.
He has only started one game in goal in Vegas and that was way back on February 23rd, 2018 as a member of the Vancouver Canucks where he allowed 5 goals to the then league-leading Golden Knights en route to a 6-3 loss.
