Pacioretty could return tonight
David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal: Vegas Golden Knights forward Max Pacioretty will take part in their morning skate today and if all goes well he could return to the lineup tonight against the Maple Leafs.
“It’s going in the right direction. Everything looks good, but I can’t say he’s going to play yet,” coach Gerard Gallant said Monday. “He’s getting close, and hopefully it’s (Tuesday) night, but I’ll know that after the morning skate when the medical guys clear him. I’m hoping they’re going to clear him, but we’ll see.”
SinBin.Vegas: The Golden Knights never put Pacioretty on the IR so they don’t need to make a roster move if he’s ready to play.
