Viva Las Vegas: Golden Knights down Canucks 9-4 in team’s first pre-season game
VANCOUVER — By the time the Elvis Presley impersonator singing tunes between whistles had left the building, the NHL’s newest franchise was already well on its way to victory in the team’s first-ever exhibition game.
Tyler Wong scored three times and added an assist as the expansion Vegas Golden Knights picked up a 9-4 win over the Vancouver Canucks in pre-season action Sunday.
“It’s a huge honour,” said Wong. “The city’s very excited to get a team. To be a part of excitement like that is something special.
“It’s a pretty cool moment for all of us.”
