This week is the gift that just keeps on giving. Days removed after the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, the Vegas Golden Knights today released their full schedule for the 2019-20 season.

After it was announced last week that the Vegas Golden Knights will host old foes the San Jose Sharks in their home opener on Wednesday October, 2, 2019 at T-Mobile Arena, the rest of the schedule was revealed earlier today.

It is always an exciting time for fans when the schedule is announced and it makes us even more buzzed for October, which can’t come soon enough at this point.

There is a buzz around the Golden Knights at the moment following a successful 2019 NHL Entry Draft weekend, which saw the organization stock up on prospects including a high-end playmaker in Peyton Krebs.

And then, as if that wasn’t enough, Vegas announced Monday night that the franchise’s leading scorer, William Karlsson had signed an eight-year contract through the 2026-27 season, worth an average annual value of $5.9 million.

It was fantastic news for the Knights who now have their potent top six locked down for the foreseeable future.

So, with all that excitement in the air, it was only right we were given some actual hockey dates to look forward to.

The highlights from the schedule that stand out will be a seven-game homestand from Dec, 28 through Jan, 11, an eight-game road trip starting Jan, 14 with the 2020 All-Star Game sandwiched in-between, and then finishing the 2019-20 regular season with a four game road trip, including playing the regular season finale at the Vancouver Canucks on Apr, 4.

Vegas’ home opener against the Sharks on Oct, 2 will be one of a four-game slate on the opening night of the 2019-20 NHL season, which will be highlighted by the St. Louis Blues raising their first Stanley Cup championship banner before facing the Washington Capitals at Enterprise Center.

The mammoth 1,271-game regular season schedule will conclude on Saturday, April 4, 2020, while there are several marquee events for all hockey fans to look forward to, including the 2020 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic between the Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas on New Year’s Day.

Getting back to the Golden Knights, however, we’ve picked out five games that will make the mouth water in 2019-20…
