Forward Oscar Lindberg was active for the ninth straight game Thursday when the Golden Knights hosted the New York Islanders at T-Mobile Arena.
Lindberg has taken advantage of the extended playing time with a goal and five assists in the first eight games. His success has forced coach Gerard Gallant into a difficult decision of which forward to scratch after a long stretch in which Lindberg was not in the lineup.
“I’m just trying to play the best hockey I can every night to help the team, and it’s up to them to do whatever they do with the lineup,” Lindberg said before Thursday’s game.
