As they welcome the Vegas Golden Knights to town, Seattle is coming off their first win of the season and will now look to get at least one standings point for a third straight game. In a lot of ways, Vegas is the team many have known but is also a bit different this season. After dealing with some big injuries last season, key pieces are returning to the lineup. Vegas also brings a little mystery as they play in the system of new head coach, Bruce Cassidy.
Let's look at the upcoming matchup by the numbers:
