Vegas Golden Knights Chairman and CEO Bill Foley said he believe his team will adjust just fine to the new playoff structure.
The Knights are one of four teams in the Western Conference to receive a bye and will play round-robin games against St. Louis, Colorado and Dallas to determine the top four seeds.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman outlined the format for the expanded 24-team postseason in a televised news conference Tuesday, including details of the round robin involving the Golden Knights.
