Reid Duke’s season went sideways at last year’s rookie camp.
The 22-year-old forward, once the lone Golden Knight, hurt his shoulder in a scrimmage against the Los Angeles Kings last September and had surgery in October. Now he’s back and the team’s first-ever player signing is taking on a leadership role ahead of the Vegas Rookie Faceoff.
“Everything’s healed, ready to go. I’m excited to be healthy this time around,” Duke said. “I want to open some eyes. I want to play fast, lead this group. Obviously there’s a couple openings on the Knights’ roster so I figure anything’s possible right now.
