ORIGINAL STORY:
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) -- The puck drops on the Vegas Golden Knights' third season tonight at T-Mobile Arena.
It all started off as "hockey would never work in the desert" then quickly turned into "oh yeah, hockey works in the desert."
As the team starts off their third season, gone are the days of the underdog mentality, now this team is bringing in some of the biggest ticket prices in the NHL.
