Golden Knights welcome back the only NHL player to win two Stanley Cups in Vegas

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 board, Chandler Stephenson is the perfect answer.

The former Golden Knights returned to Las Vegas for the first time since signing with Seattle in the offseason and were greeted with thunderous applause from the packed house.

“I obviously think it’s good to be recognized,” Stephenson said when asked about the tribute video earlier in the day. “I am very grateful for the time I spent here. She gave us two children and many memories.”

Stephenson won his first Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals in 2018 on home ice in Vegas and then his second with the Golden Knights in 2023 against the Florida Panthers, also at T-Mobile Arena.

In more than four seasons with Vegas, the 30-year-old center scored 237 points in 327 games.

During his time with the Golden Knights, Stephenson played more regular season games than anyone else and ranked second on the team in points with 237.

His 75 goals were the third-most on the team, while he ranked second with 162 assists. His career high of 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.
