Vegas Golden Knights Carolina Hurricanes HOME

The Vegas Golden Knights (31-16-6)  and Carolina Hurricanes (31-17-5) meet for the second and final time of the regular season on Saturday night in T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The Hurricanes cruised to a 6-3 victory the last time these teams met in December.

The Golden Knights are 5-3-3 lifetime and have a 2-2-1 record against the Hurricanes at T-Mobile Arena.

The last time the Golden Knights played was Monday’s 5-3 home loss to the Minnesota Wild. The Golden Knights held a morning skate at 11:00 a.m. at City National Arena ahead of their 7:30 p.m. puck drop against the Hurricanes. An illness worked its way through the team over the last week and all the players are back to full health.
