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).[1][2] The franchise plays its home games at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada.[3][4]

As of the conclusion of the 2024–25 season, 93 skaters (forwards and defensemen) and 14 goaltenders have appeared in at least one game for the Golden Knights.[5][6][7] With the Golden Knights having reached the Stanley Cup playoffs seven times in eight seasons as a franchise,[8] 56 of these skaters and 6 goaltenders have appeared in at least 1 playoff game.[9] The names of 23 skaters and 4 goaltenders were engraved on the Stanley Cup following the Golden Knights' Stanley Cup Final victory in 2023,[10][11] with the latter total making the Golden Knights the first team in NHL history to engrave 4 goaltenders on the Cup.[12]

Among skaters, Jonathan Marchessault holds the Golden Knights' all-time regular-season records for goals and points,[13][14] as well as playoff points.[15] Following Marchessault's departure in free agency after the 2023–24 season,[13] William Karlsson is the active leader in regular-season goals and points.[16] Mark Stone is the active leader in playoff points,[9] while Marchessault and Stone are tied for the all-time lead in playoff goals.[17] Shea Theodore is the active and all-time leader in both regular-season and playoff assists,[16][9][18] while Karlsson holds the all-time record for playoff games played.[19] Brayden McNabb is the active and all-time leader in games played and penalty minutes;[16][5] Ryan Reaves is the all-time leader in playoff penalty minutes,[20] while Keegan Kolesar is the active leader.[9] Among goaltenders, Marc-Andre Fleury holds most regular-season and playoff records, including games played, wins, losses (including overtime and shootout losses), and shutouts.[a]

Five Golden Knights have received major individual awards. Following the franchise's inaugural season, William Karlsson was awarded the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy as the NHL's most gentlemanly player,[24] while Deryk Engelland was awarded the Mark Messier Leadership Award, given for excellence in on- and off-ice leadership.[25] Marc-Andre Fleury was later awarded the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's best goaltender for the 2020–21 season, with him and Robin Lehner also sharing the William M. Jennings Trophy, awarded for allowing the fewest goals as a team, the same season.[26] Most recently, Jonathan Marchessault was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs.[27] Mark Stone has served as the Golden Knights' first and thus far only captain since the 2020–21 season.[28][29]

The seasons column lists the first year of the season of the player's first game and the last year of the season of the player's last game. For example, a player who played one game in the 2018–19 season would be listed as playing with the team from 2018–2019, regardless of what calendar year the game occurred within.

Statistics are complete to the end of the 2024–25 NHL season.
