Uncertainty continues with Golden Knights injury situation

Marc-Andre Fleury, who became the second fastest goaltender to 400 career victories Monday, will tie Chris Osgood for 12th all-time with his next win. … David Perron matched the NHL record for assists (46) by a player on a first-year expansion team, joining Buffalo’s Phil Goyette (1970-71) and Ottawa’s Norm Maciver (1992-93).

Sweet.

And the first team built from scratch to make the playoffs in first year.

Not exactly. The 1967 expansion had six new teams, "built from scratch". Four made playoffs the first year (and one made it to SCF as they played against each other with the winner facing off against an Original 6 team).
