FAQs: Lightning vs Golden Knights

How can I watch Lightning vs. Golden Knights in the U.S.?

The game is scheduled to air nationally on ESPN, with puck drop at 10:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Oct. 20. ESPN’s pregame show, The Point, starts at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and ESPN+, but the game itself is listed on ESPN.

When does the game start in other U.S. time zones?

The listed 10:30 p.m. ET start is 9:30 p.m. CT, 8:30 p.m. MT and 7:30 p.m. PT. The NHL schedule places the game on Tuesday, Oct. 20; the Oct. 21 date in the page title does not match the scheduled puck-drop date.

Where are the Lightning and Golden Knights playing?

The game is at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Vegas at home and Tampa Bay on the road. For fans attending, that means the Golden Knights are playing in their home building rather than at Tampa Bay’s arena.

Does this game count toward the regular-season standings?

Yes. It is a 2026–27 NHL regular-season game, not a preseason or playoff matchup, so the result counts in the teams’ regular-season records and standings.

Are the teams’ lineups or injury absences confirmed?

The available event page lists roster and injury information, but it is not independently confirmed as final lineup news. Treat those listings as unconfirmed rather than assuming a player will be out or in the lineup; the supplied schedule and broadcast information do not establish a confirmed absence.
