LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights are on the road against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night after a dramatic shootout win.
The Knights remain undefeated in the 2023 season after Jonathan Marchessault's overtime shootout goal secured their 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
Puck drop is scheduled for 5 p.m. PT at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg. The full game airs on Vegas 34 and KnightTime+, with pregame coverage scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. on both platforms.
This is the first time the two teams will meet on the ice since the Golden Knights eliminated the Jets in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs earlier this year.
"I think it's pretty exciting coming back, especially after last year, how we played here in the playoffs," Knights' forward Brett Howden told reporters ahead of the game.
