The Vegas Golden Knights will host their first regular-season NHL game on Oct. 10 against the Arizona Coyotes.

The NHL announced home opening games for every team. Vegas will open the season on the road.

The Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins host the Chicago Blackhawks in their opener on Oct. 5.

The Nashville Predators, who lost in the Final, open their season the same day in Boston.

The Golden Knights play in T-Mobile Arena, which opened in 2016 and has so far hosted concerts, special events and some preseason NHL games. The venue will become the center of the boxing world when Conor McGregor takes on Floyd Mayweather Jr. on August 26.
