Paul Stastny remembered how Max Pacioretty set him up for a goal in his second game back from an injury.
So Friday during a 3-2 victory at Anaheim, it was payback time.
The Golden Knights center slid the puck across the slot to an open Pacioretty with 9:14 left in the second period, resulting in an easy goal for Pacioretty in his first game since Dec. 17.
It was similar to the pass that Pacioretty, who was returning from a lower-body injury, gave Stastny in the second period of a 4-3 overtime win over the New York Rangers on Dec.
