LAS VEGAS -- On the night the Vegas Golden Knights clinched the NHL's Pacific Division title, the expansion team retired the No. 58 jersey and raised a banner with the names of the 58 killed in the Oct. 1 concert shooting on the Las Vegas Strip.
In a pregame ceremony Saturday night, the black and gold "VEGAS STRONG" banner was lifted to the rafters at T-Mobile Arena after a video tribute.
Several Knights players called the ceremony emotional, powerful and beautiful.
Vegas forward Alex Tuch said he believes the team drew inspiration from the ceremony as they went on to beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 and record the 50th win of their inaugural season.
