Golden Knights' Valentin Zykov: Back with big club

The Golden Knights recalled Zykov from AHL Chicago on Monday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

The Russian recently completed his 20-game ban for violating the NHL's Performance Enhancing Substances Program, but he was placed on waivers by the team on Nov. 27. Going unclaimed, Zykov stayed in the AHL, recording four points in five games. The 24-year-old has put up two points in seven contests for the Golden Knights this season, and his first chance to re-enter the lineup will come Tuesday against visiting Chicago.
