Golden Knights Gameday
Golden Knights Game 50, Stanley Cup Rematch; Lines, Notes, & How to Watch vs Panthers

The Vegas Golden Knights (30-15-4) kick off a three-game homestand with a chance to right the ship against the team they beat to win their first Stanley Cup. They’ll meet the Florida Panthers (29-18-3) on Sunday at T-Mobile Arena.
The puck drops just after 5 p.m.
The Golden Knights return to the Fortress this afternoon after a short two-game road trip. They beat the St. Louis Blues on Thursday and lost to the Dallas Stars on Friday after a sleepy second period.
The Florida Panthers played yesterday against the San Jose Sharks and won by a score of 7-2. Maybe they used up all of their goals last night…?
Adin Hill will start tonight for the Golden Knights. Hill has a record of 2-1 and a .946 save percentage in three career regular-season games against the Panthers.
Sergei Bobrovsky started for the Panthers last night, so the Golden Knights can expect to see Spencer Knight starting opposite Hill. Knight has a 1-1 record and a save percentage of .912 in two career games against the Golden Knights.
The Golden Knights no longer have Brendan Brisson and Tanner Lacynski listed on their roster. Instead, Alexander Holtz is back, along with Jonas Røndbjerg. These lines are subject to change.
