Golden Knights using caution with injured prospect Jake Leschyshyn

Jake Leschyshyn was easy to identify during the Golden Knights’ rookie camp.

The red, noncontact jersey he wore on the ice made certain of that.

“It’s been a long road recovering,” Leschyshyn said, “but I’m glad it’s almost over.”

Leschyshyn was held out of contact drills as he works his way back from a torn ACL suffered in February, but otherwise was a full participant in practices at City National Arena.

The Knights will keep their second-round pick in bubble wrap, as Leschyshyn will sit out the two games against the Los Angeles Kings rookies Tuesday and Wednesday at El Segundo, California.
