Open Game Thread: Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes

Tonight the Vegas Golden Knights will play the second game of their road trip, in the second night of a back-to-back, vs. one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. The Golden Knights have won two in a row, and take on a very talented Carolina Hurricanes squad. Carolina enters the contest with a record of 27-9-2, and a record of 7-2-1 over the last 10 games played.

Vegas is 25-15-2 on the season, and 5-3-2 over the last 10 games played. Earlier this season the Hurricanes defeated Vegas by a score of 4-2, and tonight will be an important test for the Golden Knights.
