Golden Knights' Tanner Pearson: Two points Saturday
Tanner Pearson scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.The veteran winger opened the scoring with 33 seconds left in the first period, turning a defensive-zone breakdown by Florida into his first goal of the season. Pearson hasn't been much of a fantasy asset in recent years -- he hasn't posted a 20-goal season since 2019-20 with the Canucks -- and his middle-six role with the Vegas Golden Knights likely won't lead to a resurgence. Through six games this season, he's managed three points.
