Center Tomas Hertl is expected back in the lineup for the Vegas Golden Knights for Thursday night's game against the Seattle Kraken. Hertl led the Golden Knights in goals and was a key player in Vegas’ high-performing power play before getting injured while being slammed into the boards by Tampa Bay defenseman Emil Lilleberg in the Golden Knights’ 4-2 victory over the Lightning on March 23.

Tomas Hertl, who had been sidelined since sustaining an upper-body injury March 23, was back in the lineup for Vegas in a 2-1 win over the Kraken on Thursday night.

The Vegas Golden Knights host the Seattle Kraken tonight with quite a bit of uncertainty with their lineup. Jack Eichel and Alex Pietrangelo are confirmed to be out, as Eichel deals with an upper-body injury and Pietrangelo battles an illness.
