Maybe the Golden knights can petition the league to play all games at T-Mobile Arena, where they've won in all three starts. That would also keep Vegas away from the road, where they're winless in two after dropping a 4-3 verdict at Tampa Bay on Thursday. In the matchup of the past two Stanley Cup winners (and a rematch of the 2023 final), the home-ice factor is worth considering again with the Panthers, looking to recover from a 3-2 S) loss at Amerant Bank Arena to the Canucks, as the first game at home from an extended road trip again proved tricky. Ilya Samsonov gets only his second start in goal for Vegas. Last season, while with the Leafs, his numbers against Florida were not overly impressive (3.06 GAA. .887 saves in two starts).
