Vegas Golden Knights turning to Tomas Tatar for Game 4 of Stanley Cup final

Jun 4, 2018 | 12:45 PM

WASHINGTON — The Vegas Golden Knights are shaking things up for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final.

Head coach Gerard Gallant confirmed this morning that winger Tomas Tatar will be inserted into the lineup with the Knights trailing the Washington Capitals 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

Acquired from the Detroit Red Wings for first-, second- and third-round draft picks prior to February’s NHL trade deadline, the 27-year-old has been a healthy scratch in 12 of 18 games in the playoffs.

Tatar scored in Game 2 of the Western Conference final against the Winnipeg Jets, but hasn’t suited up since May 18.
