The most welcome sign in Golden Knights practice on Friday may have been the return of injured forward Jonathan Marchessault.

Although Marchessault wore a no-contact jersey and remains on the injured reserve list after sustaining a lower-body injury in last Friday's game against the Detroit Red Wings, this was his first full practice with the team. And based on what he had to say after practice at City National Arena, it would appear as if Marchessault's return will come sooner, rather than later.

"I skated yesterday, alone," Marchessault said. "Today I felt good and tried to push my limits. I feel good."

Marchessault, who scored against Detroit last Friday and notched 30 goals with the Florida Panthers last season, said that more than anything, he feels like he has to get his timing back.
