Brisson signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Rangers on Sunday, per PuckPedia.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson spent much of the 2024-25 regular season in the Golden Knights' organization, and he was dealt to the Rangers in a swap for Reilly Smith in March. The 23-year-old Brisson didn't appear in a game with New York, as he finished out the year with AHL Hartford, posting two goals, four helpers and a minus-9 rating over 16 outings. His new deal is a two-way contract, so he'll likely be limited to time with the Wolf Pack again this coming season, unless injuries open up a spot at the NHL level. The California native will be a restricted free agent after the 2025-26 campaign.

Brisson is not currently on the Golden Knights' roster, per the NHL media site Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson is pointless in his nine NHL games this year while registering seven shots, nine hits and a minus-3 rating while averaging 9:52 of ice time. With Brisson down in the minors, the Knights brought up Raphael Lavoie, who is expected to be on the roster for Tuesday's clash with Dallas.

Brisson was recalled from AHL Henderson on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Golden Knights need reinforcements after William Karlsson (lower body) and Cole Schwindt (lower body) were placed on injured reserve Thursday. Brisson hasn't been with the NHL club since the end of October, but he was called up to provide additional depth, along with Tanner Laczynski. Over seven appearances for Vegas this year, Brisson hasn't gotten on the scoresheet but has recorded seven hits and a minus-3 rating while averaging 10:11 of ice time.

Brisson was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson has no points, seven shots and seven hits across seven appearances with Vegas in 2024-25. Although he's heading to the minors for now, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the Golden Knights later in the campaign.

Brisson scored a goal on five shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson enjoyed his best game of the preseason in this one as he continues his long-shot push for an Opening Night roster spot. The 22-year-old had eight points in 15 games with the Golden Knights last year, but he didn't appear in the postseason. Brisson has some factors working against him this fall -- Tanner Laczynski and Zach Aston-Reese have also played well, and Brisson is waivers-exempt, which makes it easier to trim him from the roster.

Brisson, Grigori Denisenko, Byron Froese, Kaedan Korczak, Dysin Mayo, Mason Morelli, Isaiah Saville, Christoffer Sedoff and Jesper Vikman were recalled from AHL Henderson on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson posted eight points in 15 NHL outings this season. While none of these call-ups should be expected to see much playing time during the Golden Knights' playoff run, Brisson likely has the best chance of drawing in should injuries pile up. Henderson failed to qualify for the AHL playoffs, giving Vegas a chance to bolster its reserves.

Brisson was demoted to AHL Henderson on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson has put up solid numbers while in the NHL this season, recording eight points in 15 games while averaging 12:20 of ice time. The decision to move Brisson down to the minors could be an indication that one or both of Nicolas Roy (undisclosed) or Chandler Stephenson (personal) will be available to play versus Minnesota on Friday.
