10 incredible photos from Golden Knights-Avalanche game at Lake Tahoe

The beautiful scenery of Lake Tahoe surrounded the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche when they hit the ice Saturday. After a rocky first period with players struggling to see and the ice taking a beating, the league decided to delay the rest of the game until midnight ET.

Here are some of the best snapshots from a contest that took nearly 12 hours to complete.
