55 Keegan Kolesar RW

Kolesar posted an assist and five hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens in Game 2.

Kolesar won a faceoff back to Alex Pietrangelo, who scored from the point at 18:46 of the second period. The 24-year-old Kolesar began the game on the third line but moved up to a prime position between Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone on the top line to begin the second period. With Chandler Stephenson (upper body) deemed day-to-day, Kolesar could be in line to take on a top-six role after a decent showing Wednesday. He's collected four points, 49 hits, 12 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 13 playoff outings.

Kolesar scored a goal, logged four hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 6.

Kolesar is a healthy scratch for Game 7 against the Wild on Friday, Steve Carp of SinBin.Vegas reports.

With the returns of star forward Max Pacioretty (undisclosed) from a 12-game absence and Ryan Reaves (COVID-19 protocols), Kolesar is the odd-man-out after playing in the first six games of the series. He was held scoreless except for the two assists he posted in Game 4 but managed to pile up 31 hits through just 12:06 of average ice time.

He's become a reliable fourth-liner for the Golden Knights, and his physical presence has helped to offset the absence of Ryan Reaves (undisclosed) in recent weeks.
