The Vegas Golden Knights are a professional ice hockey franchise located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Founded ahead of the 2017–18 season as an expansion team, they play in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL).[1][2] The franchise plays its home games at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada.[3][4]
As of the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, 84 skaters (forwards and defensemen) and 12 goaltenders have appeared in at least one game for the Golden Knights.[5][6][7] With the Golden Knights having reached the Stanley Cup playoffs six times in seven seasons as a franchise,[8] 51 of these skaters and 5 goaltenders have appeared in at least 1 playoff game.[9] The names of 23 skaters and 4 goaltenders were engraved on the Stanley Cup following the Golden Knights' Finals victory in 2023,[10][11] with the latter total making the Golden Knights the first team in NHL history to engrave 4 goaltenders on the Cup.[12]
Among skaters, Jonathan Marchessault holds the Golden Knights' all-time regular-season records for games played, goals, assists, and points,[13] as well as playoff goals and points;[14][15] after Marchessault's departure in free agency following the 2023–24 season,[13] William Karlsson is the active leader in goals and points,[16] as playoff points, with Mark Stone the active leader in playoff goals and Shea Theodore in both regular-season and playoff assists.[16][9] Reilly Smith is the all-time playoff assists leader,[17] while Karlsson and Marchessault share the record for playoff games played.[18] Brayden McNabb is the active and all-time leader in penalty minutes;[16][5] Ryan Reaves is the all-time leader in playoff penalty minutes,[19] while Keegan Kolesar is the active leader.[9] Among goaltenders, Marc-Andre Fleury holds most regular-season and playoff records, including games played, wins, losses (including overtime and shootout losses), and shutouts.[a]
Five Golden Knights have received major individual awards. Following the franchise's inaugural season, William Karlsson was awarded the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy as the NHL's most gentlemanly player,[23] while Deryk Engelland was awarded the Mark Messier Leadership Award, given for excellence in on- and off-ice leadership.[24] Marc-Andre Fleury was later awarded the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's best goaltender for the 2020–21 season, with him and Robin Lehner also sharing the William M. Jennings Trophy, awarded for allowing the fewest goals as a team, the same season.[25] Most recently, Jonathan Marchessault was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs.[26] Mark Stone has served as the Golden Knights' first and thus far only captain since the 2020–21 season.[27][28]
