William Karlsson’s Comeback: Can the Golden Knights Survive Without Their Star After 6-Month Layoff?
LAS VEGAS — After nearly half a year away, William Karlsson is finally set to lace up for the Vegas Golden Knights once more. The center, sidelined with a pesky lower-body injury since early November, will make his anticipated return in Game 1 of Vegas’ second-round playoff showdown against the Anaheim Ducks. Coach John Tortorella didn’t leave any doubt before the puck dropped — Karlsson is back. You might recall he got hurt during that nail-biter 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks on November 8, halting a promising start where he’d already racked up four goals and three assists. It’s been a bumpy road; despite back-to-back 50-point seasons, injuries have kept him off the ice more than most would like. But now, the spotlight’s on him again, and I can barely wait to see how the energy shifts with his return.
