DALLAS — Valentin Zykov remains the odd-man out among the Golden Knights’ forwards.
The 23-year-old winger sat out his 14th straight game Friday when he was scratched against the Dallas Stars. And with the Knights battling for a playoff spot, Zykov isn’t likely to crack the lineup anytime soon.
“I’m putting a team in that’s trying to win,” coach Gerard Gallant said. “He played fine when he was in there, it’s just he’s a young player. The best way to explain it is, he’ll be ready when we need him and we’ll see where it goes. But it’s tough for him.
