Get ready, Vegas Golden Knights hockey is on its way back.
Okay, so while there is still a long way to go until a puck can be dropped, the NHL has officially confirmed the 24-team Playoff format with the Vegas Golden Knights at the heart of it.
Speaking in a Press Conference earlier today, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman outlined details of the 24-team Playoff format and also the 2020 NHL Lottery Draft.
A lot of nuggets of information were dropped and, while these are only tentative steps, hockey has inched closer to making a return this year.
