In the final two minutes of Sunday’s game against San Jose at the Vegas Rookie Faceoff, Golden Knights fans were treated to a glimpse of the team’s future.
For the first time, Erik Brannstrom, Cody Glass, Nicolas Hague and Nick Suzuki — the jewels of the 2017 draft class — were on the ice together during a competitive game, as the Knights tried to rally from a three-goal deficit.
The cruel plot twist, of course, is that it won’t happen again.
With Suzuki off to Montreal as part of the trade for Max Pacioretty, the Knights’ Foundation Four is down to three.
