EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Ryan Reaves returns to the Vegas Golden Knights lineup for Game 2 of the Western Conference final against the Dallas Stars after being suspended for the series opener.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound forward gives the Golden Knights some more physicality after they were outmuscled in a Game 1 loss by a tough Dallas opponent.
Coach Peter DeBoer said missing Reaves wasn't the reason Vegas trails 1-0. But having the well-respected teammate back on the ice gives the Golden Knights more size and depth, which they'll need to try to advance to the Stanley Cup Final.
