Anaheim Ducks vs Golden Knights: Date, Time, TV, Streaming, More
The Anaheim Ducks open the 2020-21 season tonight against the Vegas Golden Knights.
The wait is finally over, my friends. With sharpened skates, new sticks, and a clean slate, the Anaheim Ducks will skate out on the fresh ice at T-Mobile Arena in just a matter of hours to open their season against the Vegas Golden Knights.
It has been a journey to get here. Many questioned whether or not we would actually have a 2020-21 season this year due to the uncertainty that came with COVID-19 and the pandemic. Thankfully, although it is a shortened season, the NHL is returning to the ice.
As far as the Anaheim Ducks go, there is still a lot of mystery surrounding our favorite team. However, it’s a new season; let’s leave the negativity and disappointment from last season in 2020. There is a lot to be excited about as opening night quickly approaches.
Defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk will make his debut with the Anaheim Ducks, taking a spot in their top 4. With Shattenkirk in the fold, not only do the Ducks get a boost on the power play, but with Cam Fowler, Hampus Lindholm, and Josh Manson beside him, this is a blueline we can really get behind.

With the start of a new season, we finally get to see what Sonny Milano and Danton Heinen have to offer.
