Despite losing to the Sharks 4-3 in OT, the Golden Knights can celebrate as they clinched a playoff spot for the 5th time in 6 seasons.
The Knights’ first exhibition game, a 3-1 loss to Colorado at Denver’s Ball Arena, was a choppy affair.
Nevada sports books lost a record $11.4 million on baseball in November after bettors cashed on the Astros beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 and on futures wagers on Houston to win the World Series. It was the largest baseball loss ever suffered in a month by the state’s sports books, according to Michael Lawton, the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s senior research analyst. The books’ previous record baseball loss was $6.2 million in November 1999, when bettors cashed their winning tickets on the New York Yankees following their World Series sweep of the Atlanta Braves. The state’s casinos won $909 million overall, including $274.7 million on penny slots.
