Three stars for the Vegas Golden Knights at the Rookie Faceoff

Braeden Bowman

Perhaps the biggest offensive superstar has been none other than Braeden Bowman. He's shown great poise as a prospect, handling scoring opportunities without any sweat. The Kitchener native has also crashed the net numerous times, making him a scoring threat. It's a promising display of courage and confidence to see the farm hand become offensively capable, especially with a shortage of established forwards.

Like Jakub Brabenec, Bowman was responsible for the bulk of the scoring for Vegas during the tournament. He chipped in an impressive goal vs. the Kings, squibbling a puck through a deceptive tactic. He did the same thing against the Kraken, going glove-side for a deciding goal. Performances like this will be rewarded by the coaching staff with more playing time, giving him more exposure.

He can shoot up the rankings if the Vegas Golden Knights get more plays from him during his developmental phase, Lindbom was also a forgotten prospect like Bowman was, being neglected for his goaltender size. However, he played on his strengths and made that his main focus, boosting his ranking. That's what Bowman can do as a goal-scorer, using his creative puck handling and skills to become a regular lineup fixture.
