LAS VEGAS -- He stood with a microphone in one hand and had his glove on his other hand holding a hockey stick in the middle of the ice at T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday.
Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Deryk Engelland will assure you that he is considerably more comfortable with the stick, not the microphone. He said he has probably never spoken to more than "20 guys at once."
