Knights get Tomas Tatar from Detroit; miss out on Ottawa’s Karlsson

The Golden Knights missed out on the big prize at the NHL trade deadline — Ottawa defenseman Erik Karlsson.

But the Knights made two separate deals Monday, acquiring left wing Tomas Tatar from Detroit and minor league defenseman Philip Holm from Vancouver.

To land Tatar, the Knights sent their first-round pick in June’s draft along with a 2019 second-round pick and a 2021 third-round pick to Detroit, according to TSN.

Tatar, 27, has 16 goals and 12 assists in 62 games for the Red Wings. His eight power-play goals matches the Knights’ leader, Erik Haula.

The 5-foot-10-inch, 180-pound Tatar scored 25 goals last season and had a career-high 29 goals in 2014-15.
