Golden Knights' Braeden Bowman: Dishes pair of assists
Rotowire
Bowman notched two assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.
Bowman helped out on the Golden Knights' first two goals, scored by Colton Sissons and Pavel Dorofeyev. With just three helpers over seven outings in March, Bowman is playing in more of a supplementary role on offense. The 22-year-old winger could find himself out of the lineup on occasion now that Mark Stone is back from an upper-body injury. Still, Bowman has looked pretty good on offense as a rookie with 26 points and 70 shots on net over 50 outings, though his minus-15 rating shows some weakness for him on the defensive side.

Rotowire
Bowman scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.
Bowman has come out of the break hot with three points over his last two games. The 22-year-old rookie is up to eight goals, 23 points, 56 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 43 appearances. He's getting third-line minutes for now, but injuries or a poor stretch of team play could see him get shuffled up to the top six at some point.

Golden Knights' Braeden Bowman: Produces pair of helpers
Rotowire
Bowman notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Kings.
This was Bowman's first multi-point effort since Dec. 23 versus the Sharks. The 22-year-old winger has mostly seen bottom-six minutes since the start of January, though he's worked his way back into the power-play mix as well. He's produced 22 points (three on the power play), 55 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 42 appearances. There will still be some ups and downs, but Bowman has put together a solid rookie campaign.

Golden Knights' Braeden Bowman: Registers two assists in win
Rotowire
Bowman logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.
This was his second multi-point effort in December, though Bowman has now gone nine games without a goal. His role has shrunk since the Golden Knights got healthier on the wing, and he's slipped down the lineup while the team struggles with injuries to centers. Bowman has still done enough -- and been consistent enough -- to hold a spot in the lineup. He's now at 13 points, 32 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 20 appearances. Among all rookies with at least 10 points this year, Bowman has the fewest games played, and his 0.65 points per game ranks tied for fourth among first-year players.

When the Golden Knights needed an equalizer in the third period, Bowman delivered with 2:28 left in regulation. The 22-year-old winger has done everything asked of him to stay in a top-six role so far. He's up to five goals, nine points, 23 shots on net and a minus-2 rating across 11 appearances to begin his rookie year.

Golden Knights' Braeden Bowman: First career multi-point effort
Rotowire
Bowman scored a goal, served an assist, placed two shots on goal and served two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over Utah.
The newest addition to Vegas' top six continues to impress, as Bowman notched the first multi-point game of his young NHL career Thursday. He first had the primary helper on Jack Eichel's second goal of the game before the two reversed roles for Bowman to find twine in the third. Overall, the 22-year-old winger has three goals, one assist and 11 shots on net through his first five career games. Bowman has been entrusted with a large role on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit and is running with it. Since Mark Stone is on IR with a wrist injury for the foreseeable future, Bowman will likely hang onto the large role until the former's return to the lineup, making the young winger a top streaming option in most fantasy formats.

Golden Knights' Braeden Bowman: Opens scoring on power play
Rotowire
Bowman scored a power-play goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Bowman has scored two goals over his first four NHL games, with both tallies coming on the power play. He opened the scoring at 11:40 of the first period in this contest. The rookie winger has added nine shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while jumping right into a top-six role. Bowman's first NHL stay is likely to last at least as long as Mark Stone (wrist) is out of action.
