RALEIGH, N.C. — Jonathan Marchessault was in full voice throughout the Golden Knights’ morning skate Friday at PNC Arena, hooting and hollering every chance he had.
Reilly Smith’s return probably had something to do with Marchessault’s mood.
Smith, who missed the past seven games with an undisclosed injury, was activated from injured reserve before the Knights’ game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
To make room for Smith on the roster, defenseman Nick Holden was placed on IR with an undisclosed injury.
“I think I was a little rusty at points tonight and kind of wasted a couple of good opportunities, but my legs felt good,” Smith said after a 5-2 loss.
