Watch for Tanner Laczynski during the preseason
While the Los Angeles Kings left little good news for the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena, there was one bright spot: Tanner Laczynski. He fired a blistering shot past Carter George in the third period to pull the Golden Knights within one, doing plenty of goal-scoring himself. His shot has impressed everyone within the organization so far, where he's a dark horse for a roster spot.
What has made the former Flyer impressive so far? For one, it's his shot release. He's shown he can fire off fast shots from anywhere in the offensive zone, whether it's in the slot or mid-range. He's also shown the offensive instinct needed to properly function within the Golden Knights offense, making him a valuable asset. If he continues down this path, he'll find himself in a regular role with the team.
Tanner Laczynski has impressed me with the release on his shot all camp long, and he just ripped one by Carter George to make it 3-2.

He intercepted a pass right in the slot, and immediately fired it past George's glove.
Fans should be excited about what Laczynski brings to the table. He also added an assist during Wednesday's game, showcasing his ability to act as a complementary piece. The forward's wrist shot could be an underrated problem for opponents, giving the bottom lines more goal-scoring and firepower.
