VEGAS (January 18, 2023) - The Vegas Golden Knights will welcome the year of the rabbit at the team's Lunar New Year Knight on Saturday, January 21 when T-Mobile Arena plays host to the Washington Capitals at 7 p.m. PT. Resorts World Las Vegas is the game's presenting sponsor. Special warmup jerseys and a variety of activations before, during and after the game will highlight the team's celebration of the Lunar New Year, which officially begins January 22 and is traditionally celebrated in China and many other Asian nations.
