A key piece of the Saskatchewan Rush offence will be back in the fold.
The National Lacrosse League (NLL) team announced Monday via Twitter they have re-signed forward Curtis Knight to a three-year deal for 2017-19.
After missing the entire 2015 season due to a knee injury, Knight returned to play 15 regular season games with the Rush in 2016. He registered 42 points which was fifth highest on the team.
The 24-year-old forward had two goals and six assists in four 2016 playoff games as the Rush reclaimed the Champion’s Cup in their first season in the province.
