"We stand united in the face of those who threaten our freedom in New York, Las Vegas, and throughout the world," said the in-arena announcer.
The moment of silence was in response to an act of terror that occurred Tuesday in Lower Manhattan when a suspect drove a vehicle along a bike path and killed eight people.
Earlier this season, the Golden Knights held a pregame ceremony honoring the 59 people killed in the tragic shooting in Vegas on Oct. 1.
