With his roster getting closer to being healthy, Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant may have some difficult decisions to make on the eve of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The team welcomed back forwards Will Carrier and Reilly Smith during its season-ending Western Canada road trip. David Perron is reportedly getting closer to being ready. Same for defenseman Luca Sbisa.
For Gallant, it means trying to decide who sits come Game 1 on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Kings. If he gets all his forwards back, he’ll have 14 for 12 spots. On defense, where he already has eight players, Sbisa’s return would make it nine vying for six spots.
