Brisson notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson has a helper in each of the last two games. He helped out on a Michael Amadio tally in the first period Monday. Brisson is up to three points, 11 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through his first seven NHL contests. He may head back to AHL Henderson once the Golden Knights get healthier at forward, but it doesn't seem like the 22-year-old is that far away from being a middle-six fixture at the NHL level.

Brisson notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson set up Nicolas Hague's goal 1:17 into the game. The helper was Brisson's first in the NHL, to go with one goal through six appearances this season. The 22-year-old forward has added eight shots on net and a minus-3 rating while seeing bottom-six minutes. Brisson will likely continue to play until Pavel Dorofeyev (upper body) or William Carrier (upper body) are cleared to return.

Brisson was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson has played in four NHL games this season in which he recorded one goal on six shots, one hit and a minus-2 rating in 11:07 of ice time per game. In addition to Brisson, Sheldon Rempal and Jonas Rondbjerg were also brought up from the minors, so there is no guarantee Brisson will be in the lineup versus Edmonton on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis
Brisson had one goal and six shots on net over his first four NHL contests. The 22-year-old forward could be called up again if the Golden Knights want reinforcements -- it's unclear if his demotion is a signal one of the team's forwards like Michael Amadio (upper body) or William Carrier (upper body) could be ready to return from injury.

Brisson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Brisson's first NHL goal proved to be the game-winner Saturday, as he fired a wrister from the slot past Tristan Jarry to put Vegas ahead 3-2. Brisson, a first-round pick in 2020, had 10 goals and 23 points in 37 games with AHL Henderson this season. The 22-year-old forward should continue to skate in a bottom-six role while the Knights deal with a rash of injuries up front.
