Digging Deep
VGK C Cody Glass flashed some of his potential earlier in the season but is currently in a six-game scoreless drought and yet he’s more interesting now because, with Chandler Stephenson out, Glass has a chance to skate between Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone on Vegas’ number one line. He did not put up any points Monday but did play a season-high 16:35 against San Jose. (4% Yahoo)
