GLENDALE, Ariz. — There may not have been party hats, but Golden Knights forward Max Pacioretty celebrated his 30th birthday on Tuesday night the same way many 8-year-olds might dream.
He played the arcade games at Dave & Buster’s with NHL players.
“(Alex) Tuch beat me in Guitar Hero and (Malcolm Subban) beat me in Basketball Connect 4,” Pacioretty said with a laugh. “It was definitely in the top 30 birthdays of my life.”
The forward’s birthday fell on the Knights’ only off day on a three-game road trip and allowed a little time for frivolity before they faced the Coyotes on Wednesday night.
