The Golden Knights announced Saturday they have re-signed forward Brendan Leipsic and defenseman Griffin Reinhart to two-year contracts.
Leipsic, who was with Toronto, and Reinhart, who was with Edmonton, were selected June 21 in the NHL Expansion Draft and both were restricted free agents.
“Brendan and Griffin are two ’94 birthdays that we were able to acquire during the expansion draft,” Golden Knights general manager George McPhee said in a statement. “Brendan was an elite scorer at the junior level and has enjoyed success in the American League as well. Griffin is a very skilled defenseman who has learned to use his size as a pro and played very well last season.
