When the Vegas Golden Knights recently got Luca Sbisa back from injury, it was a sigh of relief. However, he did not play much of any games due to the long eight-game winning streak the Knights were on. Head Coach Gerard Gallant didn’t want to tinker with the lineup if they didn’t have to during the 12-game point streak.
When the Knights finally lost to St. Louis on Thursday night, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to bring Sbisa back in the lineup for Chicago on Friday. Especially on the second end of a back to back, it made too much sense not to play him when he’s been ready.
