0-2-1 Season Record
Johnson back, Gaborik return delayed
The Vegas Golden Knights and their fans will be happy to know that Jack Johnson will be returning to action tomorrow October 13th at home versus the Detroit Red Wings. Having only missed the first three games of the season, Johnson will slot in on the 2nd unit with Ian Cole and will quarter back the top PP. Expect Johnson to log heavy minutes and have an immediate impact for the team.
Ryan Strome is also back in action after missing only the first two games of the season. Turns out his injury was a false alarm, and was feeling much better only a few days later. His return immediately paid dividends when he scored the tying goal in a 3-2 overtime loss to Arizona. He should continue to produce all season long if he stays on the 2nd line.
Unfortunately Vegas will have to wait for Gaborik's return to the fold. He experienced a setback with his knee and is still going through a lot of pain. He was expected to miss another week or two at most, but now there is no exact time line for his return. The team and the fans eagerly await his first taste of action in Vegas!
No additional news surrounding any FA signings or trade rumors at this time. If the team continues to struggle however, we can only assume that GM Dustin will make the necessary moves to try and keep his team in a competitive position this season.
