LAS VEGAS -- The Golden Knights will open their regular season at home against their Pacific Division rival Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 8, before hitting the road for three straight games.

It marks the seventh time in nine years the Golden Knights will begin the regular season on home ice.

Vegas is 7-1-0 all-time in its regular-season openers, having won its last six.

Their first four games will be against division foes, as they'll visit San Jose, Seattle and Calgary after hosting Los Angeles.

The Golden Knights get their season-high homestand out of the way early, with six straight games at T-Mobile Arena beginning Nevada Day on Oct. 31, with the Colorado Avalanche and running through Nov. 13 against the New York Islanders. Just before the Islanders will be a visit from the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.

A rather odd three-game road trip in November, during F1 weekend, will take the Knights into high-altitude Salt Lake City to face the Utah Mammoth on the 20th, then to Anaheim on the 22nd before returning to the rarified air in Salt Lake on the 24th.

Fans will get their first look at Ryan Reaves in a San Jose Sharks uniform on Nov. 29. An all-time beloved former Knight, the 38-year-old, was dealt from Toronto to San Jose.

The team will have two season-long road trips of five games, the first beginning in December, including a trip through the Metro three of New Jersey, Manhattan and Long Island. The second will begin in February after the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games, and carry into March.

The Golden Knights will close the season with seven games in April, including a rugged four-game trip through Edmonton, Vancouver, Seattle and Colorado, before closing the season with two home games.

Other notable dates include:

• Oct. 25 at Stanley Cup champion Florida
• Dec. 21 at two-time defending Western Conference champion Edmonton
• Dec. 31 vs. Nashville (return of Nic Hague)
• Jan. 15 vs. Toronto (return of Nic Roy, and Mitch Marner's first game against the Maple Leafs)
• Jan. 23 at Toronto (Marner's first game since being traded to Vegas)
• Feb. 5 vs. Los Angeles (final game before the Olympics)
• April 15 vs. Seattle (regular-season and home finale)
