LAS VEGAS – “He is the only player in the NHL to win a Stanley Cup twice at T-Mobile Arena.”
If Jeopardy ever wants to use a Vegas Golden Knights category on its game board, Chandler Stephenson will be the perfect answer.
The former Golden Knights returned to Vegas for the first time since signing with Seattle in the offseason and were welcomed with raucous applause from the packed house.
“I think it’s good to be recognised, obviously,” Stephenson said earlier in the day when asked about the tribute video. “I am very grateful for the time I spent here. It has given us two children and many memories.”
Stephenson won his first Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals in 2018 on Vegas home ice, then won his second with the Golden Knights in 2023 against the Florida Panthers, also at T-Mobile Arena.
In four-plus seasons with Vegas, the 30-year-old center recorded 237 points in 327 games.
During his time with the Golden Knights, Stephenson played in more regular season games than anyone, and his 237 points ranked second on the team.
His 75 goals were third-highest on the team, while he ranked second with 162 assists. His career-high 65 points came the year he won the Cup with Vegas.
In his first season with the Kraken, Stephenson scored three goals and 18 assists in 33 games.
