The winger has six points over 16 outings since the start of January, and his move up the lineup is likely to be temporary.

Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar: Produces pair of assists
Rotowire
Kolesar notched two assists and two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.
Kolesar snapped a six-game point drought by helping out on goals by Brayden McNabb and Tanner Pearson in this contest.

The 27-year-old winger is up to 10 goals, 11 helpers, 55 shots on net, 148 hits, 32 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 50 appearances.

This was Kolesar's second straight game with a pair of points. He was held without a hit for the first time since Opening Night, but that's a small price to pay if he continues to perform on offense.

Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar: Tallies in loss
Rotowire
Kolesar scored a goal, levied three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.
Kolesar was on a new-look second line with Tomas Hertl and Nicolas Roy for this contest. The Golden Knights have had to tinker with their forward group amid Mark Stone's (lower body) ongoing absence. Kolesar snapped a five-game point drought with the tally and now has five goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 55 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 18 appearances this season. He probably isn't suited for a top-six role in the long run, but he'll always add physicality regardless of his spot in the lineup.
