The Golden Knights have had a strong start to the season despite some early road losses and defensive issues. With a 9-3-2 record in their first 14 games, the team has exceeded expectations following significant roster changes over the summer.
Former Knights now playing for new teams have had mixed results. Jonathan Marchessault with the Nashville Predators has struggled with a 4-9-1 start, while Paul Cotter with the New Jersey Devils has had a promising start with 10 points in 16 games. Chandler Stephenson with the Seattle Kraken has had a shaky start despite a big contract, and William Carrier with the Carolina Hurricanes is thriving on the fourth line.
Alec Martinez with the Chicago Blackhawks has been sidelined with a groin injury, Logan Thompson with the Washington Capitals has had a strong start in goal, Michael Amadio with the Ottawa Senators has yet to find his scoring touch, and Anthony Mantha with the Calgary Flames has made an impact before being placed on injured reserve.
The Knights will face the Hurricanes next at T-Mobile Arena on Monday. It will be interesting to see how these former Knights continue to perform throughout the season in their new roles.
