Player of the Weekly: Jonathan Marchessault
This marked the closest vote thus far among our panel, and Marchessault was the only player to rate highly on all ballots. He had a goal and two assists in two games against the Kings and showed off slick passing that could have led to even more assists. Marchessault sits tied for second on the team with six assists, with his eight points tying him for fourth.

Prospect Watch: Jake Leschyshyn
The 21-year-old scored the first goal in Silver Knights history during a 5-2 victory over Ontario. Leschyshyn was a second-round pick in the Golden Knights’ first draft in 2017 and will look to work his way up a crowded group of forward prospects.
