Sportsnet airing 73 regular-season contests

National TV to show nine remaining games

AT&T Sportsnet’s broadcast schedule for Golden Knights games this season features 73 games in addition to two preseason contests.

The network also will introduce a weekly magazine show, “Vegas Golden Knights: Knight Life,” which will debut Oct. 12 and air at either 7 p.m. or 30 minutes before the start of the broadcast on game nights.

An Oct. 6 game at Minnesota will be the first regular-season broadcast. The season opener Oct. 4 against the Philadelphia Flyers at T-mobile Arena will air on NBC Sports Network.

The broadcast team returns mostly intact with Dave Goucher as the play-by-play voice and Shane Hnidy as color analyst. Alyson Lozoff is the rinkside reporter, and Gary Lawless is the Knights’ insider.

Nick Gismondi takes over as host of the pregame and postgame shows alongside Brady May and Gabe Gauthier.

Preseason games against the Kings on Sept. 28 and the Sharks on Sept. 30 will air live on the network.

With the Oct. 4 game against the Flyers, the other Knights’ contests not on AT&T Sportsnet are Oct.

30 at Nashville (NBCSN), Nov. 14 vs. Anaheim (NBCSN), Nov. 27 at Chicago (NBCSN), Jan. 23 vs. Nashville (NBCSN), Feb. 20 vs. Boston (NBCSN), March 17 vs. Edmonton (NBCSN) and March 27 at Colorado (NBCSN).

Carr enjoys preseason

Many veterans don’t look forward to preseason games, but forward Daniel Carr believes they give him a better showcase than practices and scrimmages.

“The strength of my game is getting the puck into the corner and creating offense off the forecheck,” Carr, 26, said. “And getting to the net to score. You play those scrimmages, and guys don’t shoot because guys might hit somebody.”

Carr, who had 16 points in 38 games with Montreal last season, is hoping his preseason play earns him a job with the Knights.

“Playing hockey here is so much fun. The coaches just let you go play,” Carr said. “It’s fun to just turn your brain off and go out there.”

Notable

The Knights will host a watch party for the Oct. 6 road game at Minnesota at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center. Vegas plays the Minnesotat Wild at 5 p.m., and the gates to the party will open at 4 p.m.

Center Cody Glass (lower body) didn’t practice for the third straight day. Coach Gerard Gallant has said Glass is day to day.

Center Cody Eakin also didn’t practice.
