Kolesar was in the right position to take advantage of a rebound after Montreal goalie Sam Montembeault was unable to close his glove around the puck. It was the sixth goal through 21 appearances for Kolesar, who is scoring at a 23-percent clip and is poised establish a new career high (eight goals). The second-line winger has nine points, 26 shots, 70 hits and 14 PIM.

• Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar: Tallies in loss

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Kolesar scored a goal, levied three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. Kolesar was on a new-look second line with Tomas Hertl and Nicolas Roy for this contest. The Golden Knights have had to tinker with their forward group amid Mark Stone's (lower body) ongoing absence. Kolesar snapped a five-game point drought with the tally and now has five goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 55 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 18 appearances this season. He probably isn't suited for a top-six role in the long run, but he'll always add physicality regardless of his spot in the lineup.

  Kolesar notched an assist, two hits and five PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah. Kolesar dropped the mitts with Utah heavyweight Jack McBain in the first period. In the second, Kolesar had the secondary helper on Noah Hanifin's buzzer-beater, which tied the game at 2-2. With four points and two fights over his last three games, Kolesar is making an impact in a variety of ways. The 27-year-old winger has four goals, four assists, 11 shots on net, 29 hits, eight blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 12 outings overall. His offense could easily falter as long as he remains in a fourth-line role, but he's currently on pace to shatter his career-best campaign of 24 points in 77 games in 2021-22.
