A new goaltender and goal-scorer helped lift the Golden Knights’ spirits Friday during a five-game home losing streak.
The Knights signed Jay Procter, 12, and Jace Owen, 8, to one-day contracts with the help of Make-A-Wish Southern Nevada, and the two practiced with the team at City National Arena.
Owen scored on backup goaltender Malcolm Subban, and Procter stopped shots from forward Reilly Smith and defenseman Shea Theodore before fighting with forward Ryan Reaves.
“You know, he kicked me in the pads and you can’t take that, so I went after him and dropped the mitts and beat him up,” Procter said.
