The Vegas Golden Knights (49-22-10) have punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the third straight year and seventh time in eight seasons since entering the NHL as an expansion franchise in 2017-18.
After capturing the Stanley Cup in 2023, the Golden Knights saw their title defense cut short with a first-round exit last postseason.
Now, with a renewed sense of purpose and 107 points under their belt, Vegas heads into the playoffs determined to make amends, and they’ll have home-ice advantage through at least the first two rounds to help them do it.
They’ll kick off their title defense on Sunday, April 20, at T-Mobile Arena, where they’ll host either the Minnesota Wild, who wrapped up the regular season with 95 points, or another potential lower-seeded opponent.
The Golden Knights and Wild have met once before in the playoffs, with Vegas edging out a tight seven-game series back in the 2021 first round.
Here’s what you need to know to listen to Golden Knights playoff games in 2025.
