The Vegas Golden Knights will play in one exhibition game against the Arizona Coyotes, which is set for Thursday, July 30. It will be the first time the Knights take the ice for a game since defeating the Edmonton Oilers back on March 9.
Exhibition games will take place between July 28-30; the Knights vs. Coyotes game has been scheduled for 7 p.m. and will be the final game of the exhibition round.

Vegas went 2-1-0 in three games against the Coyotes this season.
