LAS VEGAS — The first player announced from the Las Vegas Golden Knights’ starting lineup Thursday was Phil Kessel, a nod to his one-of-a-kind milestone.
It was one of several tributes at T-Mobile Arena to the NHL’s “Ironman.”
Kessel became the the first player in NHL history to appear in 1,000 consecutive games, the cherry on top of a 4-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes that snapped the Knights’ two-game losing skid.
