Players To Watch:

St. Louis – Robert Thomas has helped the Blues get off to a fast start this season with three assists in 2 games. Thomas is coming off an 86-point campaign a year ago and is primed for another big year.

Vegas – Jack Eichel scored 4 points in the opener, and as the Knights’ top center, his playmaking and scoring ability will drive the Vegas offense. Coming off a successful 2023-24 season and contributing early this year, Eichel will be a focus point as Vegas looks to continue its strong form.
