Pearson signed a professional tryout agreement with the Golden Knights on Tuesday.
Pearson spent last season with the Canadiens, racking up 13 points in 54 contests. He missed a large chunk of time with an upper-body injury and was also a healthy scratch down the stretch. Injuries have taken significant portions of his last three seasons, but he's healthy and could push for a bottom-six role with the Golden Knights, who are currently expected to lean on young forwards in those spots.
