The Golden Knights’ win over the Flames at T-Mobile Arena Thursday night featured “a lengthy 25-minute delay because of ice issues” before the start of the third period. The Knights’ TV broadcast reported that the zamboni “potentially scraped the ice and created a hole on the City of Las Vegas decal on the visitor’s side of the rink.” Ice crew members “tended to the ice with fire extinguishers while smoothing out the ice,” which “erased a noticeable part of the V in ‘Vegas’” (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 4/2).
