The Knights’ bond with their city was forged mere days before they took the ice thanks to assistant captain Derek Engelland’s impassioned “We are Vegas Strong” speech after the Mandalay Bay shooting of October 2017. Marc-Andre Fleury was the face of this team, which won the Western Conference Championship in its magical 2017-18 Inaugural Season and made it to the Stanley Cup Final. It was not until 2020-21 that Fleury won his first Vezina Trophy, but it may be the emotional Inaugural Season in Vegas for which he is most remembered.
