List of Vegas Golden Knights seasons

Founded ahead of the 2017–18 season as an expansion team, they play in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL).

[11] After suffering a first-round exit against the San Jose Sharks in 2019,[12] the Golden Knights returned to the Western Conference Finals in the COVID-19 pandemic-affected 2020 playoffs, falling in five games to the Dallas Stars.

[13] During the pandemic-shortened 2020–21 season, the Golden Knights were temporarily placed in the single-season West Division;[14] after finishing second behind the Colorado Avalanche,[15] the Golden Knights again fell one round short of the Stanley Cup Finals, losing to the Montreal Canadiens in six games in a re-aligned Stanley Cup Semifinals.

[16] Despite entering the following 2021–22 season as Stanley Cup favorites,[17][18] the Golden Knights suffered a rash of injuries and poor play, eventually missing the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.

[21] The Golden Knights' championship defense in 2023–24 began with the longest season-opening winning streak of any defending champion in NHL history, as they began the season 7–0–0;[22] however, the team struggled later in the season,[23] qualifying for the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs as a wild card and losing to the Dallas Stars in the first round in seven games.
