Temperatures are expected to reach the high 90s for Knights playoff games against the San Jose Sharks at T-Mobile Arena this weekend. The Golden Knights are making adjustments to keep the condition of the ice in tip-top shape. “The whole idea is that ambient temperature and inside temperature have a relationship,” said T-Mobile conversion manager and ice maker George Salami. Sometimes when it is humid outside, fog can form on the ice. During the 1975 Stanley Cup finals between the Buffalo Sabres and Philadelphia Flyers, a dense fog formed at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. The Sabres won in double overtime on a shot by Rene Robert that Flyers goalie Bernie Parent — and most in attendance — did not see.
Golden Knights fans invaded Staples Center for Game 3 of a playoff series on Sunday night.

“We saved enough money that we also took the kids to Knott’s Berry Farm today before the game,” said one Knights fan.
The series against the Kings continues in Los Angeles with Game 4 on Tuesday night.
A day after beating the Kings 2-0 in double overtime, Golden Knights players credited their conditioning. “Your body is tired, but your mind is still racing,” said forward Reilly Smith. “The crowd was unbelievable.” A season-high gathering of 18,588 at T-Mobile Arena helped inspire the Knights to victory. “This is why we put in so much extra work all summer long,” said defenseman Jon Merrill. “For a game like that.” The series continues with Game 3 at Staples Center on Sunday night.

More than two dozen country singers will perform over the next two weeks, including George Strait at T-Mobile Arena, Cody Johnson at the South Point and Dwight Yoakam at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
