NEW YORK — The wait is almost over for Paul Stastny.
The Golden Knights center was a full participant in Tuesday’s practice at Barclays Center, and there’s a strong possibility he could be activated for Wednesday’s game against the New York Islanders.
“He’s close, real close,” coach Gerard Gallant said. “We’ll see how he gets along (Tuesday) and we’ll make a decision (Wednesday), see where it goes. … There’s a possibility he’s going to play on this trip. We’ll see when he’s ready, when he feels good. But we want to make sure.”
Stastny suffered a lower-body injury late in the Knights’ loss at Buffalo on Oct.
