In the current season, the Swedish forward played in only 14 games. He played his last game at the beginning of November, since then Vegas has been absent. According to Bruce Cassidy, William Karlsson should return before the Olympics.
The Golden Knights are also plagued by injuries. Big stars Jack Eichel and Shea Theodore missed the last quartet of the game, in addition to them, Adin Hill and William Karlsson are also on the sidelines. The extensive injury list also raised mild doubts in the Vegas camp.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy stated at a press conference when he expects the Swedish forward to return. And it should be before the Olympics. Karlsson’s return would be huge for the Golden Knights in many ways. First, you gain depth in the offensive ranks.
In the current year, he scored 4 goals and 3 assists in 14 games, which is slightly below his steady pace, but in the Vegas jersey he is a proven scorer who can be relied on.
But he is also a great player towards the back. Karlsson is a very smart player. He knows what space to stand in when defending, he knows how to stand. This makes him a tough opponent for anyone. It is his game intelligence that is often missing in matches.
It’s a rough time ahead of Vegas. But will a comeback before the Olympic break be enough to mitigate the palpable losses? That is the question to which we will get an answer just before the hockey holiday.
For now, the organization has to work with what it has and hope that, for example, Mitch Marner and Tomáš Hertl will be more prominent. It was Marner who moved into the role of the first center. Hertl also tried out this role, shining with three points against Edmonton.
