Kraken down 2-0 as Brandon Tanev victimized by bad luck. Tries to play puck behind net but puck hits Jonathan Marchessault’s stick and goes in net with 5:03 to go in first. #SEAKraken #Kraken #NHL https://t.co/6aLnkImwIp
It was a joyous celebration for the @Golden Knights, much different from the inaugural home game six years ago. My @SportingTrib column on the Stanley Cup champs raising their banner and beating Seattle on opening night. https://t.co/19tFSa2LZN
Looks like the Golden Knights and Adin Hill have picked up right where they left off. They lead 1-0 through 11:03 in the first period. Hill has been sharp. Chandler Stephenson has the goal off a quick rush play with some great passing. Vegas has already killed two penalties too.
Burakovsky absolutely robbed by Adin Hill kick save. Vegas comes back other way and Chandler Stephenson taps in opening goal at net front on first Golden Knights shot at the 7:16 of the first. #SEAKraken trail 1-0. #Kraken #NHL https://t.co/0Nti86QU0f
End of 2: Golden Knights 3, Kraken 1 Barbashev with the insurance, but McCann cut into the lead. Hill continues to have a strong game.
One down, 39 to go. Jared McCann takes a pass in the slot and buries it behind Adin Hill to cut the gap to 3-1 just over 8 min into the 2nd. McCann scored 40 last season and now leads team in goals again. #SEAKraken #Kraken #NHL https://t.co/88o2boB9o2
McCann makes it 3-1 as Seattle is on the board w/11:41 left in the second.
Seattle is on the board with a goal by Jared McCann. 3-1
McCann strikes from the slot, and the Kraken are on the board. 3-1, 8:19 into the second.
Broken play, Seattle goal. Jared McCann. 3-1 Vegas.
The Golden Knights, leading 3-0 early in the second period tonight, have now scored 12 goals in a span of 69:28 in their past two home games. So what if they're separated by nearly four months. It's still true.
Ivan Barbashev gets in behind Vince Dunn and uncorks a slap shot high on Grubauer from bottom of left circle at 1:27 of 2nd period. Vegas up 3-0. #SEAKraken #Kraken #NHL https://t.co/Hw5ciQZMZG
Absolutely mental stretch pass from McNabb. Puck along the boards just zips it 70 feet up the ice directly on the tape of Barbashev. It's 3-0 VGK on Opening Night, just like it was 2 years ago against Seattle.
McNabb with the spot-on stretch pass to Barbashev and he scores on the breakaway to make it 3-0.
What a pass by Brayden McNabb (???) to spring Ivan Barbashev on the breakaway. It's 3-0 less than two minutes into the second period.
Holy moly what a pass by Brayden McNabb to spring Ivan Barbashev on a breakaway. Barbashev hammers it past Grubauer to extend Vegas' lead to 3-0 early in the 2nd period.
Ivan Barbashev roofs one off the rush. 3-0 Knights, 1:20 into the second period.
Ivan Barbashev. Breakaway. Rocket. 3-0 Vegas.
The Golden Knights played their first official home game as an NHL team on Oct. 10, 2017, a 5-2 win against the Arizona Coyotes. Six years to the day later they're raising their first Stanley Cup championship banner to the rafters at T-Mobile Arena. The festivities begin shortly.

Mark Stone and the Vegas Golden Knights began their quest for a second consecutive Stanley Cup when they host the Seattle Kraken (10:30 ET on ESPN/ESPN+). The Golden Knights have the 6th-shortest odds at @CaesarsSports to win the Stanley Cup this season. https://t.co/9Q1OmP2V8m
