Last season, the Vegas Golden Knights had a magical first season as an NHL franchise as they made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final when nobody thought that a playoff appearance was possible.

As magical as their inaugural season was, it started with tragedy as 58 people were killed in a mass shooting in Las Vegas.  The Golden Knights helped the city heal in more ways than one, though, and Golden Knights goalie Oscar Dansk will honour the 58 victims of the shooting on his new mask for the upcoming season.

 

 

Today we have the honor to present Oscar Dansk’s new Vegas Golden Knights mask⚔️. Oscar had a beautiful idea for his new mask, he wanted the mask to be painted as a tribute to all the victims at last years attack in Las Vegas❤️. A Vegas Golden Knight helmet is created on the mask for each and every of the 58 victims🙏🏻. All helmets are placed on the top of the mask, closest to heaven. All the Vegas helmets are created as a part of the design, and the main design is created in a classic way built on the awesome Vegas logos⚔️. And of course the Vegas Strong logo is also a part of the design. Just as usual I really love to work with the details. Thanks Oscar, it was a true honor to create this painting for you.🙏🏻❤️😊 @oscardansk @vegasgoldenknights @nhl @daveart #nhl

There are 58 Golden Knights helmets on Dansk's mask, one for each of the victims.

The Golden Knights will always be #VegasStrong and through incredible tributes like this, the victims will never be forgotten.
