Vegas and Vancouver will be facing off in a late night matchup, which could also be a preview for the Stanley Cup Playoffs round one as the Knights sit in the second wildcard spot in the Western Conference.
"Tomas Hertl is expected to make his #VegasBorn debut tonight against Vancouver; coach Bruce Cassidy will confirm later today. The Knights have 6 games left in the regular-season." Pagnotta said.
Prior to his injury, Hertl has recorded 34 points in 48 games this season with the struggling, last place San Jose Sharks.
