Tomas Hertl will likely make his Vegas Golden Knights debut Monday against the Vancouver Canucks, head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters Sunday.

The Golden Knights acquired Hertl from the San Jose Sharks in a stunning deadline deal, but the forward hasn't played since Jan. 27 while recovering from knee surgery.

Though normally a center, Hertl skated at left wing alongside Chandler Stephenson and Michael Amadio during Sunday's practice.

A two-time 30-goal scorer, Hertl had recorded 15 goals and 19 assists in 48 games with the Sharks before the injury.
