Tomas Nosek got to play on the Golden Knights’ first line Sunday and it took him 16 seconds to show he belonged.
The forward took the puck down to the Arizona Coyotes’ end and dished it to Jonathan Marchessault for a lightning-quick assist. For Nosek, who skated with Marchessault and William Karlsson during even strength and on the power play, it was an opportunity to show he’s ready for a bigger offensive role and he quickly delivered.
“He’s had a good camp,” coach Gerard Gallant said.
Nosek, 26, played in a career-high 67 games last season and finished with 15 points.
