TAMPA, Fla. — Jonathan Marchessault is ready for his 48-hour trip down memory lane.
The Golden Knights’ 5-foot-9-inch high-scoring right wing is back in Florida, where he got the chance to prove he could play in the NHL, first with the Tampa Bay Lightning and then the Florida Panthers.
The Lightning host the Knights at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Amalie Arena.
“It was a great experience playing here, and a lot of good memories,” Marchessault said. “I got to play in a couple of playoff games and be part of a team that went to the (Stanley) Cup that year (in 2015) and then got to play in the conference finals the next year.
