Here comes the cavalry!
The Vegas Golden Knights have fallen outside of the playoff picture, but they have a key cog returning to help with their postseason push. Jesse Granger tweeted that Max Pacioretty was activated from the injured reserve and was taking pre-game line rushes ahead of the Knights’ tilt against the Arizona Coyotes.
Max Pacioretty has been removed from the IR.

Analytically, Pacioretty rates as one of the best skaters, putting up the eighth-best expected goals-for and fourth-best Corsi ratings on the Knights.
