Golden Knights forward Valentin Zykov again watched and waited Wednesday night.
The 23-year-old was a healthy scratch against the Nashville Predators and sat for the 11th time in 12 games since he was claimed off waivers from the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 29.
Zykov has played 9:26 after arriving in Las Vegas on Jan. 2 after dealing with a customs issue.
“We like the way our lineup has been playing recently,” coach Gerard Gallant said. “He’s a guy that’s going to get an opportunity sooner or later. We’ll see what happens. He’s working hard, he’s a talented guy, so when he gets the opportunity hopefully he’ll take advantage of it.
