Rotowire
Froese scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.
Froese has now picked up two points and five shots on net over five games at the NHL level this season. He hadn't scored since the 2020-21 campaign when he was a member of the Flames. The 31-year-old should continue to hold a bottom-six role while the Golden Knights are banged up, but when they get some forwards back from injury, he could end up on waivers.

Rotowire
Froese logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Froese picked up his first NHL point of the season when he set up Paul Cotter's second-period tally. With the Golden Knights missing Mark Stone (upper body) on a week-to-week basis, Froese may have a chance to play regularly in a bottom-six role. The 31-year-old forward has amassed 18 points over 118 NHL games in his career, so he's unlikely to be much of a factor in fantasy.
