LAS VEGAS – Welcome to our Live Blog from Game 1 of the first-round Stanley Cup playoff series between the Wild and the Vegas Golden Knights.

We’ll keep you updated as the game progresses (me at T-Mobile Arena, editor Chris Miller back at Strib HQ) … even if it goes five overtimes.

Put on the coffee pot and let’s go!

Lots of preview reading for this game over the weekend at startribune.com, so give these stories a read during breaks in the action.

Game 2 of the series is here on Tuesday night (and into Wednesday morning) with a 10 p.m. Central start.

The series is back at Xcel Energy Center for Games 3 and 4 on Thursday (8 p.m.) and Saturday (3 p.m.).
