Tatar, Nosek in for Golden Knights in Game 2; Perron, Lindberg out
Tomas Tatar and Tomas Nosek are back in the lineup for the Vegas Golden Knights.
The wingers were reinserted in place of David Perron and Oscar Lindberg for Game 2 of the Western Conference Final against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night.
Tatar played in only two of the six games during Vegas' second-round series against the San Jose Sharks, and two more in the Golden Knights' first-round sweep of the Los Angeles Kings.
He previously appeared in a 4-0 loss to the Sharks in Game 4 on May 2, and had been held without a point in all four playoff appearances this spring.
Nosek suited up for all four games against the Kings and the first four games versus the Sharks. He also last played in that Game 4 defeat.
Perron had seven assists in nine postseason games this year before missing Monday's contest. Lindberg had a single point in three playoff appearances in 2018.
