It seems that the Vegas Golden Knights may be expecting to get some key players back from injury pretty soon. Forwards Byron Froese and Jonas Rondbjerg have been sent back down to the Henderson Silver Knights, the Golden Knights confirmed Wednesday.
Eichel had been out of the lineup for nearly a month, last playing Dec. 9 against the Philadelphia Flyers before hitting IR. The team has done alright since then, going 6-4-1 in the process, but having their superstar back in the lineup should give the team the boost it needs not only with on-ice production but with its overall confidence. Despite missing the time, Eichel’s 29 points place him third on the team, playing in just 27 games.
Minor roster news on an off-day for the Calgary Flames. The club has re-assigned forward Byron Froese to the Stockton Heat of the American Hockey League.
