Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant sent center Paul Stastny out for two defensive draws Thursday without his usual linemates during the team’s 2-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.
The Knights play 12 of their next 17 games on the road.
Reno forward Antoine Hoppenot scored near the end of stoppage time to lead 1868 FC to a 2-1 win over the Lights on Tuesday.
The Lights are limiting the event to only 200 fans but everyone who attends their Sept. 8 home game against LA Galaxy II at Cashman Field will have a chance to get on the field.
Review-Journal reporter Ben Gotz discusses the Lights FC’s penalty kick trick play against the Swope Park Rangers last Sunday and its fallout.
The Capitals’ enforcer blindsided Jonathan Marchessault in the third period of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, but his statement may have hurt his team more than helped it.
The Lights will play their second match of a season-long four-game homestand at 8 p.m. Saturday at Cashman Field against the Swope Park Rangers.
The Lights gave up nine goals in its three preseason home games at Cashman Field.
