Alex Tuch has struggled this season, but he’s still young enough to turn things around and tap into his immense potential.
Roster Review
Cody Glass and Nic Hague both didn’t set the world on fire as rookies, but they each showed plenty of promise in their first games with the Golden Knights.
Golden Knights rookie defenseman Zach Whitecloud makes quick, sharp decisions, breaks the puck out nicely and defends in his own zone and off the rush well.
Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore has overcome plenty in the past year. But now he’s riding high and looking like one of the finest offensive defenseman in the NHL.
Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone has never forgotten that he was a sixth-round pick in 2010, so he goes full tilt every time he plays, like a Tasmanian devil on ice.
Since being acquired from the Washington Capitals, forward Chandler Stephenson has taken his game to a higher level with 22 points in 41 games for the Golden Knights.
Paul Stastny has willingly filled a variety of roles for the Golden Knights this season, and he’s still the team’s choice to take a tough draw with the game on the line.
Golden Knights right wing Reilly Smith is second on the team in goals with 27, surpassing his previous career high of 25, and third in points with 54.
Defenseman Nate Schmidt has been part of the Golden Knights’ identity since the outset of the franchise. He’s been so consistent that it’s easy to overlook his accomplishments.
Forward Nicolas Roy has shown promise as a rookie and received a two-year contract extension from the Golden Knights in April with an average annual value of $750,000.
Ryan Reaves continued to give the Knights toughness and physicality this season. Was it enough to earn him another contract?
Max Pacioretty’s second season with the Golden Knights was one of the best of his career, complete with a trip to the 2020 NHL All-Star Game and a greeting from Wayne Gretzky.
Tomas Nosek took the fourth-line center baton from Pierre-Edouard Bellemare this season, but will he be handing it off again soon?
Jon Merrill showed how versatile he truly is this season — scoring in a memorable debut at wing — but was it enough to earn him another contract with the Golden Knights?
Defenseman Brayden McNabb is one of the Golden Knights’ unsung heroes. He plays hard, handles tough assignments and happily cedes the spotlight to his teammates.
