猶他猛獁與拉斯維加斯金騎士公佈 2026 年季前賽賽程
Introduction
The Utah Mammoth and Vegas Golden Knights have announced their preseason schedules for the 2026-27 season.
猶他猛獁與拉斯維加斯金騎士已公布 2026-27 賽季的季前賽賽程。
Main Body
The current schedule shows a decrease in the number of preseason games because the National Hockey League has decided to increase the regular season from 82 to 84 games. In the past, teams could choose to play between six and eight exhibition matches; however, the new rules limit this to only four games. The Utah Mammoth will start their schedule on September 20 with an away game against the Colorado Avalanche, followed by matches against the Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights, and finishing with a home game against Colorado on September 26.
目前的賽程顯示季前賽場數有所減少，因為國家冰球聯盟決定將常規賽從 82 場增加到 84 場。過去，球隊可以選擇進行 6 到 8 場表演賽；然而，新規則將其限制為僅 4 場。猶他猛獁將於 9 月 20 日以對陣科羅拉多雪崩的客場比賽開啟賽程，隨後將對戰洛杉磯國王與拉斯維加斯金騎士，並於 9 月 26 日以對陣科羅拉多的主場比賽收尾。
Similarly, the Vegas Golden Knights will begin their series on September 19 against the Los Angeles Kings, followed by a game with the San Jose Sharks on September 22. They will conclude their preseason with home games against the Utah Mammoth and San Jose Sharks on September 24 and 26. Furthermore, the Delta Center is currently in the second year of a three-year renovation project. These improvements include new tiered seating to provide better views for fans, the addition of spectator 'gondolas,' and the completion of a parking garage that started in 2025.
同樣地，拉斯維加斯金騎士將於 9 月 19 日對陣洛杉磯國王開啟系列賽，隨後於 9 月 22 日與聖何塞鯊魚進行一場比賽。他們將於 9 月 24 日與 26 日分別對陣猶他猛獁與聖何塞鯊魚的主場比賽，以此結束季前賽。此外，Delta Center 目前正處於為期三年翻新工程的第二年。這些改善項目包括提供更好觀賽視角的新分級座位、增加觀賽「吊籃」區，以及完工 2025 年啟動的停車場建設。
Conclusion
The preseason schedules are now final, and the Delta Center is expected to be ready for the game on September 26.
季前賽賽程現已確定，Delta Center 預計將在 9 月 26 日的比賽前準備就緒。
