2023-24 SEASON SERIES
The Golden Knights skated to a 1-2-0 record against the Arizona Coyotes during the 2023-24 season before the team moved to Salt Lake City in the offseason. William Karlsson led the Golden Knights with 3 points (1G, 2A) against Arizona, along with Shea Theodore who had two assists.
KEYS TO THE GAME
Moving Upward: Despite the 3-2 preseason loss to Los Angeles on Wednesday, Vegas is looking forward and determined to keep improving. Head Coach Bruce Cassidy stated that his plan was for the team to get better with each passing game and maintain a sense of urgency.
Fresh Face – If Victor Olofsson is in the lineup for Friday’s preseason game against Utah, he would have the opportunity for an on-ice reunion with his former teammate, Jack Eichel. Olofsson has 182 career points (90G, 92A), and speed that could make him a key player for the Golden Knights.
