The Golden Knights open a four-game homestand Thursday against the New York Islanders at T-Mobile Arena.
Opening faceoff is 7 p.m., and the game will be televised on AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain.
“I think they’re playing a good, sound game,” coach Gerard Gallant said of the Islanders. “That team compared to what they were last year, they’re playing a different game. They’ve got a new coach in (Barry Trotz) and they play a more defensive game. They block a lot of shots.”
Winger Brandon Pirri is expected to make his season debut for the Knights (19-15-2, 40 points) after being recalled from Chicago of the American Hockey League on Wednesday.
