3.) The Vegas Golden Knights got their first home win on October 10, 2017, against the Arizona Coyotes
The Golden Knights got "Viva Las Vegas" by Elvis Presley bumping for the first time on October 10, 2017, against the Arizona Coyotes. Back then, the two teams were divisional rivals, separated by a four-hour drive. What better way to earn your first home victory than against a geographical rival next door?
Tomas Nosek scored the first regular season goal ever at T-Mobile Arena, where he was assisted by Pierre Edouard-Bellemare and Luca Sbisa. His goal was part of a four-goal first period, where Vegas never looked back. That included two goals by James Neal, who spent his only season with the Golden Knights in 2017-18.
Marc-Andre Fleury also had a big game, stopping 31 of 33 shots (.939 save percentage). It was his first home victory as a Golden Knights goaltender, where he would also make a name for himself in the arena. It must feel nice being in the same company as UFC legends Jon Jones and Conor McGregor, especially when you lead your team to the Stanley Cup Final in your first season.
