Vegas Golden Knights

On 21 June 2017, Nosek was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. On 10 October 2017, Nosek scored the Knights' first franchise goal on home ice at the T-Mobile Arena.

In the 2022–23 season, Nosek settled in as a fourth line center for the Bruins. He was a consistent presence in the lineup, and tied his career high 18 points in a historic Bruins season which saw them break the regular season record for both wins and points. However, this success would not extend into the playoffs as they lost to the Florida Panthers in seven games in the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs. Nosek would play in all seven games, scoring two assists.

While recovering from this injury he reinjured his foot, for which he underwent surgery on 29 November. Nosek missed about two months due to the surgery, and returned to the lineup on February 6, 2024. Nosek would finally score his first goal and point as a Devil on March 14, 2024, against the Dallas Stars. Nosek would finish out the season with the Devils without interruption, ending with two goals and four assists in 36 games.
