Golden Knights Game Notes

Last season, the Golden Knights had a 1-1-0 record against the Red Wings. They are 6-6-1 all-time.

All signs point to Colton Sissons making his return to the lineup tonight. He’ll skate in his 700th career NHL game.

Noah Hanifin returns to the lineup for the first time since Opening Night.

The Golden Knights’ power play is struggling after starting the season red hot. They’ve converted on just two of their last 19 opportunities. 

Jack Eichel is tied for second in the league in scoring with 19 points. He has eight goals and 26 points in 24 career games against the Red Wings. 

We’re on milestone watch! Reilly Smith is one point away from 300 as a Golden Knight.

The Golden Knights have a record of 3-1-1 at the Fortress this season; the Red Wings are 4-3-0 on the road.
