The Las Vegas Golden Knights finished their expansion season with the 17th best attendance numbers in the league. Those numbers don’t tell the whole story, though. T-Mobile Arena claims to hold 17,500 fans for NHL games. Average attendance for the Golden Knights was 18,042.

If the numbers are correct, the Las Vegas Golden Knights oversold every home game by 542 tickets. Only three other teams had higher oversell rates. One of those team was their Stanley Cup Finals opponent. The Washing Capitals home holds 18,500 fans. They averaged 19,000 tickets sold per game.
