The Vegas Golden Knights (25-14-5) are set to face off against the New York Rangers (28-13-2) in a highly anticipated game on Thursday at 7 p.m. at T-Mobile Arena.
This marks the first of two clashes this month, with the second meeting scheduled in New York on Friday, Jan. 26. Vegas, with a record of 4-6-0 in the last 10 games, looks to make a statement against the Rangers, who stand at 4-5-1 in the same period.
Thursday's game goes beyond the on-ice action, as it is designated as Law Enforcement Appreciation Knight.
The arena will celebrate first responders, featuring law enforcement vehicles on Toshiba Plaza for photo opportunities.
Notable player milestones are on the horizon, with Brayden McNabb and Zach Whitecloud closing in on points milestones, and Michael Amadio and Alex Pietrangelo eyeing career achievements.
The Golden Knights, coming off a 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators, aim for their 293rd franchise win and seek to improve their all-time record against the Rangers to 7-4-0.
Key factors for success include finding ways to win despite injuries and relying on the stellar goaltending performance of Logan Thompson, who has won three of his last four games, providing the team with a solid chance of securing victory.
