From @TSN1200 - Is the shine off of hockey in Vegas? @TSNJR and @TSNHammer on the Golden Knights' first non-sellout and Via @TSNHockey on X

What happened: The Vegas Golden Knights experienced their first non-sellout in TSN 1200 hosts JR and Hammer discussed the attendance dip for the preseason matchup, which ended in a 4-3 Vegas victory.

Why it matters: Vegas has built a reputation for its raucous atmosphere and consistent capacity crowds since entering the league. A non-sellout against a major draw like Toronto marks a notable shift for the franchise's home ice dynamic.

By the numbers: The Golden Knights defeated the Maple Leafs 4-3 in the contest, improving to 23-12 while Toronto dropped to 6-11.

What to watch: Observers will monitor regular-season attendance figures to see if the drop was a preseason anomaly or a broader trend in the Vegas market.
