It was another worthwhile exercise for the Vegas Golden Knights who witnessed strong showings from a number of rookies, while players on the outside looking in also put on a fine display including goalie Garret Sparks, who stopped all 24 shots for a shutout on his debut for the franchise.
Brandon Pirri, who is gunning for the left wing role on the third line come opening night, did what he had to do to earn the trust of the coaching staff after recording a three point night (two goals, one assist), while Valentin Zykov and Nicolas Roy also did their case of winning a roster spot no harm at all with a goal apiece.
