Golden Knights shuffle forward lines for Panthers game

SUNRISE, Fla. — Gerard Gallant liked what he saw after juggling his forward lines in the third period against Carolina on Friday.

The Golden Knights coach liked it so much, he stuck with the combinations Saturday against Florida.

“Just a spark, that’s it,” Gallant said.

Winger Valentin Zykov, playing his third game with the Knights since he was claimed off waivers Dec. 29, skated alongside center William Karlsson and left wing Jonathan Marchessault.

Right wing Reilly Smith joined center Cody Eakin and left wing Brandon Pirri on a revamped third line.

“That’s just the point where we’re at right now,” Marchessault said.
