LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights are hitting the road for the first time this season.
After opening the season with three straight wins at home, the Knights are heading to Washington to face a familiar face. Logan Thompson is expected to make his Washington Capitals debut Tuesday night against his former team.
Thompson told media Tuesday that he's excited to see some familiar faces and looking forward to a fun game.
"It's a lot of mixed feelings playing against your old team," Thompson said. "A lot of good memories there that I'll have forever."
“You’re always going to be a little extra motivated to play your former team, but I think I’m just excited to get a first game here in a Caps jersey.”

Vegas heads into the matchup with a few milestones to watch:
- Nicolas Hague will play in his 300th NHL game, all of which have been played with the Knights.
- Jack Eichel is tied for the league lead in scoring with seven points. Eichel was also named the third player on the NHL's "Three Stars of the Week."
