Golden Knights Host Avalanche In 2024-25 Season Opener

The Vegas Golden Knights will host the Colorado Avalanche in the 2024-25 season opener.

All the moves in the offseason, the hard work in training camp and the experiments in pre-season have all led up to the beginning of the regular season. A disappointing end to the 2023-24 season can be forgotten as the Golden Knights embark on new challenges with different faces but the same end goal.

Victor Olofsson, Alexander Holtz and Tanner Pearson will all make their Golden Knights’ debut and will be looking to make a lasting impression on their teammates and the fanbase.

Elevated roles will follow players like Pavel Dorofeyev and Ivan Barbashev. The expectations for players such as Jack Eichel, Noah Hanifin and Adin Hill are as high as they’ve ever been.

The Golden Knights will be taking on a star-studded Colorado Avalanche team that is missing a few key parts of their lineup. Nonetheless, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Mikko Rantanen are all superstars more than capable of winning games on their own. The Golden Knights will need to be sharp defensively and on their toes whenever those three are on the ice.

Tonights projected Golden Knights lineup is:

Olofsson-Eichel-Stone
Dorofeyev-Hertl-Holtz
Barbashev-Roy-Brisson
Pearson-Howden-Kolesar

Theodore-Pietragenlo
Hanifin-Hague
McNabb-Whitecloud

Hill
Samsonov

Avalanche’s projected lineup
