LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights' first road trip of the regular season continues Thursday with a visit to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Knights are looking to bounce back after suffering their first loss of the season against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday and will do so without a key performer in the lineup.

Victor Olofsson left Tuesday's game late in the third period after suffering what appeared to be a lower-body injury. He was seen after the game on crutches.
His absence causes a shuffle of the lineup, with left wing Tanner Pearson moving up to play with center Tomas Hertl and Pavel Dorofeyev.
Brendan Brisson returns to the lineup to replace Olofsson and will skate on the third line with center Cole Schwindt and right wing Alexander Holtz.
Adin Hill is expected to make his second consecutive start in net for the Knights.
A win tonight against Tampa Bay would be Bruce Cassidy's 100th win with the Knights and the team's 316th in franchise history.
Forwards Jack Eichel and captain Mark Stone currently lead the team in scoring, both with eight points (two goals, six assists).
You can watch the Golden Knight and the Lightning live on Arizona 61, with puck drop at 4 p.m.
