EDMONTON, Alberta — Defenseman Nick Holden was excited to see friends and family on the Golden Knights day off before playing the Oilers 15 minutes from where he grew up in St. Albert.
The weather he could do without.
“It’s so funny,” he said after morning skate at Rogers Place on Sunday. “It’s been 13 years since I actually lived a winter back here. I think I’m getting a little soft because any kind of cold or snow, I’m like, ‘What is this?’ But it’s nice to always come back even if it is a little chilly.
