For the first time as a member of the Vegas Golden Knights, the center will skate through the golden helmet at T-Mobile Arena in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, smoke rising, lights flashing, crowd roaring, “John Wick Mode” thumping from the loudspeakers. The Golden Knights will host the Dallas Stars in Game 3 of the Western Conference First Round on Saturday (10:30 p.m. ET; SCRIPPS, MAX, truTV, TBS, BSSW, SN360, SN, TVAS), leading the best-of-7 series 2-0. “When you score and the crowd gets into it, they're really, really loud here,” Hertl said. Vegas and San Jose became rivals after the Golden Knights joined the NHL as an expansion team in 2017-18, meeting in the playoffs twice.
The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs are underway, and needless to say, the San Jose Sharks are not participating. After a run to the Western Conference Final in 2019, the Sharks entered the offseason with some tough decisions to make.
Golden Knights newcomers Tomas Hertl and Noah Hanifin have finally gotten in a game with captain Mark Stone. After an impressive first game all together in the NHL playoffs, they are looking for a 2-0 series lead over Western Conference top seed Dallas even before going home to Vegas. “It's good for chemistry,” Hanifin said.
