The Vegas Golden Knights start their postseason Wednesday when they play game 1 against the Sharks in San Jose at 7:30 p.m.
Here’s VGK-Sharks playoff schedule:
Here’s your first round match-ups.
And here are the Western Conference standings.
The Knights were a plus 19 in goal differential and had the only losing away record of the eight Western Conference playoff teams with a 19-20-2 mark. The Knights were Pacific Division champions in their inaugural season last year and had home ice in the first two rounds when they defeated the Kings and Sharks. This season, their 93 points were good for third place in the division, trailing Calgary (107 points) and San Jose (101 points).
Golden Knights season ticket holders can pay for home playoff tickets at a lower price point if they agree to not re-sell their tickets. If they opt out of the “Knights’ Vow” program to have the right to re-sell their tickets, season ticket holders will pay 50 percent more for those tickets, said Todd Pollock, Golden Knights vice president for ticketing and suites.
Knights officials say the only team-authorized secondary market re-seller is the VGK Ticket Exchange.
Team president Kerry Bubolz said watch parties are set for the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center presented by the D Las Vegas on Wednesday for game one and for Topgolf Las Vegas at MGM Grand on Friday for game two. The cost of admission is free for first-come-first-served areas at both parties.
