Vegas Golden Knights‘ 2nd year right wing Keegan Kolesar(20) split time between affiliates Chicago Wolves and Quad City Mallards during his rookie campaign.
Through 44 AHL games he scored 5 goals and 8 assists with a +2 rating, then added a goal in three playoff matchups and mostly lit it up in 20 ECHL contests with 9 goals and 7 assists.
The 6’2″ 223 lbs. forward was a very decent scorer in his last pair of junior seasons with point-per-game totals for Seattle Thunderbirds, also never backed away from dropping the mitts when pushed, helped them with the 2017 WHL Championship and his 31 points (12-19) were tops in the playoffs.
Originally a Columbus Blue Jackets‘ 3rd round pick in the 2015 draft (#69 overall), he was dealt before ever suiting up after being on a pair of entry level slides.
At just 21-years old, he should be looking to have a strong camp and get off to a good start with the farm club to stick as a sophomore skater.
