The Vegas Golden Knights faced off against the Seattle Kraken last night for their first game of the season. They raised their Stanley Cup banner in a stellar show and were also giving a show on the ice by dominating the Kraken.
However, the festivities came to a screeching halt after forward Brett Howden laid a dangerous hit on Brandon Tanev.
The Kraken ultimately fell to the Golden Knights 4-1.
Tanev's medical status has yet to be announced but as it looks, he has likely suffered a concussion as a result of the hit.
Howden was ejected for this hit and will likely face supplementary discipline for the hit. He will almost certainly get fined for the hit and will likely wind up getting suspended too.
Not a great way for him to start of his 2023-24 campaign.
