The Golden Knights and their fans have honoured victims of the United States' mass shootings, before winning a debut home game for the first Las Vegas-based major team in the National Hockey League (NHL).
All 58 names of those killed nine days earlier when gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on a country music festival in the city were illuminated on the ice at the T-Mobile Arena.
Around the side of the rink, advertisement boards were replaced with the message 'Vegas Strong' for the meeting with Arizona, the first of seven-straight home games.
And the Knights soon had the fans out of their seats, with Tomas Nosek sparking a run of four quick goals in the first period.
The Coyotes pulled one back but Oscar Lindberg restored the four-goal cushion, with Arizona only able to pull back to 5-2 through Kevin Connauton's strike.
The Ottawa Senators enjoyed a 3-2 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks, Mark Stone with the decisive goal.
The Philadelphia Flyers were overcome by the Nashville Predators who, after losing a three goal-lead to trail 5-3, brought it back in the closing minutes to clinch a 6-5 victory.
The St Louis Blues maintained their undefeated run after seeing off the New York Rangers 3-1.
The Columbus Blue Jackets needed overtime to claim victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. With the game all tied at 1-1 after three periods, Sonny Milano found the net for the second time to claim the 2-1 win.
Nineteen-year-old Alex DeBrincat scored his first NHL goal to help the Chicago Blackhawks to a 3-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.
Dallas Stars coach Ken Hitchcock claimed his 782nd NHL win - putting him in joint third in the league's history. His team beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-2.
