The Vegas Golden Knights are making strategic moves, calling up Kai Uchacz, Tanner Laczynski, and Dylan Coghlan from the Henderson Silver Knights. This trio, featuring a defenseman, a center, and a versatile player, adds depth to the lineup.
With Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin temporarily out after their Olympic gold victory, the team is adjusting. The two celebrated in Miami and have an invitation to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, hinting they might linger in Washington, D.C.
There’s plenty of roster activity to note:
- McNabb, Sissons, and Saad are back from injury.
- Cassidy has returned to the ice.
- Stone, Theodore, and Marner are still absent.
- Eichel and Hanifin are currently off the roster.
Looking at the stats, Uchacz has been solid with seven goals and 20 assists in 44 games for Henderson. He had a brief stint with the Golden Knights last season.
Coghlan brings 11 goals and 13 assists from 37 games, while Laczynski has impressed with 15 goals and 28 assists in 40 games, even earning All-Star recognition. He’s contributed two assists in nine games with Vegas this season.
As they gear up to face Los Angeles, fans are bracing for a tough match. The Kings, bolstered by Artemi Panarin, pose a challenge, especially with Kevin Fiala sidelined. Despite past struggles against L.A., the Golden Knights are refreshed and eager to dive back into action.
The post-Olympic stretch is crucial, offering Vegas a chance to shine and aim for their second Stanley Cup. With hockey back in full swing in Las Vegas, the excitement is palpable, and fans are hopeful for some standout performances from the new call-ups.
