# List of Vegas Golden Knights seasons

The Vegas Golden Knights are a professional ice hockey franchise located in Las Vegas, Nevada. 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). The franchise plays its home games at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The 2024–25 NHL season marks the franchise's 8th season of operation. As of the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, the Golden Knights have won 312 regular-season games, the third-fewest in the NHL; in 2023–24, however, they became the fastest expansion franchise in NHL history to reach 300 wins.
Noted for their early success as a franchise, the Golden Knights have qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs six times in their seven completed seasons, with three Pacific Division championships, two Stanley Cup Finals appearances, and a Stanley Cup championship in 2023. During their inaugural season in 2017–18, the Golden Knights broke the NHL records for most wins and points in an inaugural season and became the first franchise since the 1967–68 St. Louis Blues to reach the Finals in their inaugural season; however, they ultimately lost the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals to the Washington Capitals in five games. After suffering a first-round exit against the San Jose Sharks in 2019, 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. During the pandemic-shortened 2020–21 season, the Golden Knights were temporarily placed in the single-season West Division; after finishing second behind the Colorado Avalanche, 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. Despite entering the following 2021–22 season as Stanley Cup favorites, the Golden Knights suffered a rash of injuries and poor play, eventually missing the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. In their sixth season, the team rebounded, winning the Pacific Division for the first time since 2020 and defeating the Florida Panthers in five games in the Stanley Cup Finals to win their first Stanley Cup, becoming the fastest expansion team to win the Cup in NHL history. 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; however, the team struggled later in the season, qualifying for the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs as a wild card and losing to the Dallas Stars in the first round in seven games.
