The Vegas Golden Knights face off against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena with projected lineups. Hertl makes his debut for the Golden Knights. Thompson starts in goal despite leaving practice early. Hill could be the backup goalie.

Pietrangelo is absent from the two-game road trip with Vegas. The Canucks dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, expecting Lindholm to be day to day. Juulsen returns after missing three games.
