Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar: Finds twine Thursday
Rotowire
Kolesar scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Kolesar put the Golden Knights ahead 4-0 late in the second period. That snapped a four-game point drought for the winger, who hadn't scored a goal since Dec. 6. He's had steady playing time in a bottom-six role as Vegas has battled injuries up front, but he may be at risk of a healthy scratch if or when the team is at full health. Kolesar has nine points, 36 shots on net, 34 PIM and 125 hits through 42 appearances.

Rotowire
Kolesar won't play Thursday against Florida due to an illness, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Kolesar has picked up just six points through 36 contests this season -- his fantasy value is limited to leagues that reward hits, of which he has 109 in 2023-24. With Kolesar under the weather, look for Grigori Denisenko to make his Golden Knights debut against the Panthers.

Rotowire
Kolesar notched a shorthanded assist, five hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Canadiens.
