The Vegas Golden Knights will play their first road game of the season against Logan Thompson and the Washington Capitals.
Tonight’s game will be the first of three road games before the Golden Knights travel back home to Vegas. The Golden Knights are off to an incredible start, picking up wins in their first three games. The Capitals have played just one game to start the season which was a loss to the New Jersey Devils. Former Golden Knight Paul Cotter scored two goals for the Devils to help them defeat the Capitals 5-3.
