Vegas Golden Knights forward Max Pacioretty is expected to return to the club's lineup Tuesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, head coach Gerard Gallant announced.
Pacioretty's been day to day since suffering an upper-body injury on Oct. 26 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Through his first 10 games with Vegas, Pacioretty's notched just two goals, but perhaps the trip to Toronto will help. He's scored 19 career goals versus the Maple Leafs - the most against any opponent.
