Gritty, an orange bearded creature with big eyes and a knack for imitating Kim Kardashian, has received plenty of criticism on Twitter since his unveiling Monday and Chance piled on Tuesday.

Eakin, who largely centered the Knights’ third line last season, has a lower body injury and coach Gerard Gallant doesn’t know if he’ll be ready by the team’s season opener.

The Knights were happy to get some 3-on-3 practice in when their preseason game with the San Jose Sharks went to overtime Saturday.

The network will air 73 regular-season games and introduce a weekly magazine show, “Vegas Golden Knights: Knight Life,” which will debut on Oct. 12.

The Knights have been outselling the Toronto Maple Leafs, StubHub’s second top-selling team, by 27 percent.

The event will take place from 5-8 p.m. at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.

The 24-year old was a solid two-way player with the American Hockey League’s Chicago Wolves last season, scoring 23 points and finishing first on the team in plus-minus.

The young forward played with Jonathan Marchessault and William Karlsson in the Knights’ first preseason game against the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday.

The Golden Knights were reportedly close to a deal for the five-time All Star at the trade deadline in February and were considered one of the front-runners to land him this offseason.

The Golden Knights raised the bar at their rookie camp this year, hosting a six-team tournament at City National Arena rather than scrimmaging against the Los Angeles Kings. Count general manager George McPhee as a fan of the change.

The Knights’ first-ever player signing is trying to turn heads after a shoulder injury shortened his season last year.
