San Jose Sharks forward Noah Gregor scored his fourth goal of the season in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to Vegas, making a good impression in a first-line role. He skated on the left wing next to Logan Couture and Evander Kane. Rookie defenseman Nikolai Knyzhov also scored in a historic game, which saw Patrick Marleau break the all-time record for most regular-season games played. Gregor has shown offensive potential by posting 28 points in 35 AHL games, and he could have a productive run to close out the season if he sticks on the first line.
San Jose Sharks forward Noah Gregor will get a chance to skate on the first line Monday night against the Golden Knights. The 22-year-old, who has three points in 18 games this season, joins Logan Couture and Evander Kane. Gregor has done a good job in the AHL so far, but he's not had a lot of success in the big league, recording only six goals and eight points in 46 career games. This will be a great opportunity for him, although it comes in a very tough matchup against a team that allows only 2.18 goals per game on home ice this season.
