Knights’ 2024-25 schedule release: When does Marchessault return?

That game will air on TNT as part of the network’s season debut.

The Knights open the season with seven of their first 10 games at home. Two of those three road games are notable. They’ll face former goaltender Logan Thompson and the Washington Capitals on Oct. 15 before traveling to face the new Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Oct. 19.

The Knights will see right wing Jonathan Marchessault for the first time when they visit the Nashville Predators on Jan. 14. Marchessault signed a five-year, $27.5 million contract with the Predators on Monday. The Knights will visit Nashville again on March 29. Marchessault’s return to T-Mobile Arena will be April 12.

The Knights close the regular season at Vancouver on April 16.

Some other notable games include:

■ The Knights will face the Utah Hockey Club, which has taken all the hockey assets of the former Arizona Coyotes, for the first time Nov. 2 at T-Mobile Arena. They’ll make their first and only trip to Delta Center in Salt Lake City on Nov. 15.

■ The Dallas Stars will visit T-Mobile Arena on Dec. 6. It will be the first meeting between the Knights and Stars since their first-round playoff series this past season. Dallas won in seven games.

■ The Panthers’ lone trip to T-Mobile Arena is Jan. 26. It will be the second and final meeting between the past two champions, who faced off in the 2023 Stanley Cup Final.

■ The first matchup between the Knights and Macklin Celebrini, who was selected first overall at the NHL draft at Sphere by the San Jose Sharks on Friday, will be Oct. 26 at T-Mobile Arena.

■ The Knights’ first meeting with the reigning Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers is at Rogers Place on Nov. 6.

■ The Knights will welcome many more former players besides Marchessault to town after watching six unrestricted free agents depart Monday and losing two more players to trades over the weekend.

Right wing Michael Amadio will return with the Ottawa Senators for the annual Nevada Day game on Oct. 25.

Right wing Anthony Mantha and the Calgary Flames will visit soon after Oct. 28.

Left wing William Carrier, one of the Original Misfits, will come to town with the Carolina Hurricanes on Nov. 11. Thompson will return with the Capitals on Nov. 17.
