The champions come to town: the Minnesota Frost, the PWHL’s standard-bearers with back-to-back Walter Cup titles in the league’s first two seasons, visit PWHL Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday, December 10, 2026, with puck drop at 7:00 PM Pacific, per the arena’s official listing. It is the second home game in Las Vegas franchise history, four days after the opener against Detroit.
Every expansion team gets an early measuring stick, and they don’t come bigger than Minnesota. The Frost built the PWHL’s first dynasty on relentless forechecking, elite goaltending at both ends of the tandem and a roster stacked with U.S. national team talent. For Las Vegas, December 10 is the night the home crowd finds out how close their new team already is to the top of the league.

About the matchup
Minnesota plays the most complete team game in the PWHL: layered defense, quick transition and scoring that can come from any line. Las Vegas’s path to an upset runs through its home crowd and special teams — an early power-play goal would turn The Fortress into a genuine factor against a veteran opponent. Watch the goaltending matchup, too: Minnesota’s crease has decided playoff series, and the home team will need its netminder to steal stretches of this one while the skaters find their legs.
