The Golden Knights recalled forward Brandon Pirri from the American Hockey League on Monday and placed forward William Carrier on injured reserve.
Pirri produced six goals and nine points in seven games with the Knights before he was sent down Friday when Max Pacioretty was activated from IR.
Pirri will lose his waiver-exempt status once he plays 10 NHL games.
The 27-year-old leads the AHL in scoring with 42 points (18 goals, 24 assists). He scored in the Chicago Wolves’ 3-1 victory over San Antonio on Saturday.
Carrier was scratched from Sunday’s 3-2 victory over New Jersey due to an illness, according to a team spokesperson.
