Golden Knights' Brendan Brisson: One of each in win

Brisson scored a goal on five shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Avalanche.

Brisson enjoyed his best game of the preseason in this one as he continues his long-shot push for an Opening Night roster spot. The 22-year-old had eight points in 15 games with the Golden Knights last year, but he didn't appear in the postseason. Brisson has some factors working against him this fall -- Tanner Laczynski and Zach Aston-Reese have also played well, and Brisson is waivers-exempt, which makes it easier to trim him from the roster.
