Golden Knights took on the Minnesota Wild in front of the largest crowd at T-Mobile arena since the pandemic began.

Unfortunately, Vegas dropped the first game in overtime as the Wild scored, winning 1-0.

Although there was no victory for our team, fans still had a great time watching the game throughout the valley.

At Toshiba Plaza, hundreds of fans gathered well before the puck dropped on the post-season.

Red Rock Casino's Golden Knights-inspired "Crimson at Knight" pop-up bar hosted fans and will continue to offer fun experiences throughout the playoff run.

Other fans took in the game poolside at the hotel-casino.

Despite the loss, many in attendance said they had a great time and are looking forward to the next game and a win.

The Golden Knights will be back on home ice Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena and the VGK Nation will be ready to cheer on the team.
