Golden Knights' Brendan Brisson: One of each in win
Rotowire
Brisson scored a goal on five shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Avalanche.
Brisson enjoyed his best game of the preseason in this one as he continues his long-shot push for an Opening Night roster spot. The 22-year-old had eight points in 15 games with the Golden Knights last year, but he didn't appear in the postseason. Brisson has some factors working against him this fall -- Tanner Laczynski and Zach Aston-Reese have also played well, and Brisson is waivers-exempt, which makes it easier to trim him from the roster.

Rotowire
Brisson, Grigori Denisenko, Byron Froese, Kaedan Korczak, Dysin Mayo, Mason Morelli, Isaiah Saville, Christoffer Sedoff and Jesper Vikman were all recalled from AHL Henderson on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Brisson posted eight points in 15 NHL outings during the regular season. While none of these call-ups should be expected to see much playing time during the Golden Knights' playoff run, Brisson likely has the best chance of drawing in should injuries pile up. Henderson failed to qualify for the AHL playoffs, giving Vegas a chance to bolster its reserves.
