The Vegas Golden Knights have themselves a goalie.

With no more picks until the last two rounds, the Vegas Golden Knights sent a 2022 Fourth Round pick to the Detroit Red Wings for the No. 125 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

And, with that selection, the Golden Knights drafted Swedish goaltender Jesper Vikman for their fourth pick of the Draft.

Vikman is a big prospect at 6-foot-3 and he was the eighth ranked European goalie according to Central Scouting.
