7 years agoVegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson will be in the lineup for Game 1 against the Kings on Wednesday, even though he missed the morning skate. David Perron (undisclosed) took line rushes on the first line instead of Karlsson, but he has been ruled out by head coach Gerard Gallant. Karlsson finished third in the Rocket Richard trophy race for the league's top goal scorer, netting 43 times. The 25-year-old Swede had a great record against the Kings during the regular season, scoring three goals in four games while collecting four points in total. Reilly Smith and Jonathan Marchessault will skate alongside him on the top line and the first power-play unit.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
