Seattle Kraken forward Chandler Stephenson got a warm welcome back at the first media break during the Kraken’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Stephenson played five seasons in Vegas, lifting the Stanley Cup in the 2022-23 season. It marked the second time his name appeared on hockey’s most prized trophy – the first being with the Washington Capitals in 2018. He was also an All-Star in the 2022-23 season.
During his time in Vegas, he scored 75 goals with 162 assists and was a valuable member of the team’s top six.
“I’m sure ‘Stevie’ will be happy to see his old teammates if he hasn’t already,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said.
