Hertl set to travel with Golden Knights
Tomas Hertl (knee) will travel to Vancouver and could play Monday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. Hertl will need to be activated from long-term injured reserve before suiting up but he’s nearing a return and his Golden Knights debut. The 30-year-old scored 15 goals and 34 points in 48 games with the Sharks before he was traded to Vegas. Hertl should skate in a top-six role once he’s healthy.
Pettersson deals helper in loss to Kings
Elias Pettersson posted an assist, six shots on goal and three hits in Saturday’s 6-3 loss to the Kings. Pettersson set up a Brock Boeser tally in the first period. While he’s gone eight games without a goal, Pettersson has a helper in each of the last two contests to get his offense back on track. The 25-year-old center is up to 33 goals, 53 assists, 201 shots on net, 119 hits, 63 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating through 77 appearances in a top-line role.
