Golden Knights release 2021 NHL schedule

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- The Golden Knights released their highly-anticipated 2021 hockey schedule Wednesday afternoon.

The Knights will start the season on Thursday, Jan. 14 against the Anaheim Ducks at T-Mobile Arena. They will also face the Ducks two days later on Jan. 16 at T-Mobile Arena.

The team noted that additional information regarding fan attendance for Golden Knights home games will be distributed when confirmed.

Given the new division alignment, all VGK regular-season games will be played in the West division, comprised of Arizona, Anaheim, Colorado, Los Angeles, Minnesota, St. Louis, San Jose and Vegas.

On Sunday, the NHL and NHLPA announced an agreement on a 56-game season to start Jan. 13. The regular season would end May 8 with a 16-team playoff to follow.

The agreement allowed for the league to split into four new divisions: North, South, East and West. All play will be within the four divisions through the first two rounds of the playoffs to minimize travel and the potential for the coronavirus to disrupt the season.

The Golden Knights will open training camp Jan. 3.
