Golden Knights' Tanner Pearson: Sparks offense Tuesday

Pearson scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Avalanche.

Pearson's tally at 8:56 of the first period tied the game at 1-1, and the Golden Knights controlled things the rest of the way. Through four preseason games, Pearson has collected two goals and one assist. The 32-year-old winger is on a tryout agreement, but his strong showing could help him earn a contract from Vegas or another team. He's likely competing with Brendan Brisson and Tanner Laczynski to be an extra forward on the Opening Night roster at this stage of the exhibition schedule.
