Many Golden Knights fans spent the summer dreaming of watching star defenseman Erik Karlsson play at T-Mobile Arena.
They got a close-up look at what could have been in Sunday night’s final preseason game.
Karlsson, the former Ottawa Senator who was linked with the Knights in trade rumors for months before landing with the Sharks in the offseason, scored a power-play goal in the second period of the Knights’ 5-2 win.
“Really pleased,” San Jose coach Pete DeBoer said when asked how he felt about his front office landing the prize of the offseason while keeping him away from the Knights.
