Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant showed a bit of tough love to defenseman Shea Theodore with a one-game penance for his costly turnover in Nashville.
Then he gave the 22-year-old a figurative pat on the back and sent him right back out there Tuesday against Carolina.
“You don’t like watching games, any player I know,” Gallant said after the Knights’ morning skate at City National Arena. “He sat down for one game, and hopefully he goes back in tonight and plays real well.”
On Friday, Theodore lost the puck below his own goal line when he tried to make a move around Predators forward Viktor Arvidsson.
