Line Change
Bischoff will make his NHL debut on Saturday.
Bischoff was called up just over a week ago and will replace fellow rookie Nic Hague in the lineup on Saturday. Bischoff has registered 11 goals and 28 assists (39 points) in 136 career AHL games.
Goalie Start
Fleury will start Saturday in Pittsburgh.
Fleury allowed two goals on 39 shots in the Golden Knights win over the Senators on Thursday. Fleury has won three of his last four starts while posting a 2.69 GAA and .927 SV%. Since going to Vegas, Fleury has faced his former team three times, going 2-1-0 with a 3.02 GAA and .910 SV%.
Goalie Start
Fleury will start Thursday vs. the Senators.
Fleury allowed five goals on 39 shots in the Golden Knights loss to the Predators on Tuesday. The win snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Fleury, who is now 4-2-0 with a 2.56 GAA and .922 SV% on the season. I don’t need to tell you that Fleury is a must-start on home-ice against the 1-4-0 Senators.

Suspension
The NHL has suspended Valentin Zykov for 20 games for violating the terms of the NHL Performance Enhancing Substances Program.
This is the second Golden Knights’ player to get suspended for PEDs in the last two seasons. Zykov’s suspension likely means that Brandon Pirri will be in the lineup on Thursday but it could also mean an extended stay for Cody Glass. A 20-game suspension means Zykov isn’t eligible to return until November 29th vs. The Coyotes.
Goalie Start
Fleury will start Tuesday vs. the Predators.
Fleury gave up two goals on 38 shots in the Golden Knights win in Los Angeles on Sunday. Fleury has won two in a row while stopping 69 of the 73 shots (.945 SV%) that he has faced. Fleury is 2-1-0 with a 2.36 GAA and .924 SV% in his first three starts on home-ice but draws a tough matchup vs. a Predators team that is leading the NHL in goals (4.60 GF/pg) though their first five games.

Fleury led the Golden Knights onto the ice for warmups.
Fleury stopped 33 of 35 shots in the Golden Knights win over the Flames last night. With Malcolm Subban out with a lower-body injury, Fleury is expected to start both games of the Golden Knights weekend back-to-back. He has had a great start to the season, posting a 2.16 GAA and .930 SV% in four starts and is a must-start in Los Angeles.

Subban is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Subban was held out of Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury that he suffered in his season debut on Thursday. Oskar Dansk was recalled from Chicago (AHL) to serve as Marc-Andre Fleury’s backup against the Flames.
Goalie Start
Fleury will start Saturday vs. the Flames.
Fleury will be relied on more than ever after backup Malcolm Subban suffered a fractured larynx in Thursday's game against Arizona. Fleury is off to another great start, posting a .925 SV% and a 2.20 GAA in four appearances this season. He's a must-start in fantasy whenever he gets the call, and that includes tonight's matchup against a talented Flames team.

The Golden Knights have reassigned Jimmy Schuldt to Chicago (AHL).
Schuldt, 24, recorded an assist in his NHL debut last year but sat as a healthy scratch in the first four games of 2019-20. Schuldt switches spots with Jake Bischoff.
The Golden Knights have recalled Jake Bischoff from Chicago (AHL).
Bischoff, 25, was a seventh-round pick in 2012 and has taken a long road to the NHL. He spent four years at the University of Minnesota and over 120 games in the AHL. The 6-foot-1, 194 lbs. defenseman had 13 points (2G / 11A) in 60 games with the Wolves last year.
Goalie Start
Subban will make his season debut in Arizona on Thursday.
Subban has started 19 and 20 games over the last two seasons, going 21-14-4 with a 2.81 GAA and .906 SV% overall. Subban can be a spot-start option throughout the season with such a strong team in front of him, so don’t hesitate to pick him up tonight if you need some goaltending help.
Goalie Start
Subban was the first goalie off of the ice at the Golden Knights morning skate.

Eakin (undisclosed) returned to practice on Wednesday.
Eakin has missed the first three games of the season with an undisclosed injury but returned to practice in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday. This is a step in the right direction for Eakin, who will likely be cleared for contact in the coming days.
Goalie Start
Fleury will start Tuesday vs. the Bruins.
Fleury stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Golden Knights 5-1 win in San Jose on Friday. Fleury has an ideal start to the season, winning both of his starts against the Sharks while stopping 55 of the 57 shots (.965 SV%) that he faced. Fleury has a tough matchup with the Bruins in town, but you can’t bench Fleury on home-ice, where he is 35-19-6 since 2018.

Eakin (undisclosed) skated on his own on Sunday; he could return next week.
Head coach Gerard Gallant said that Eakin is “doing well” but probably won’t play Tuesday vs. the Bruins. Vegas plays four games next week, so monitor Eakin’s status heading towards Thursday’s game in Arizona and into their back-to-back over the weekend.
Schmidt is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Schmidt was hurt in the first period of the season opener and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks with a lower-body injury. With Schmidt sidelined, Nicolas Hague will draw into the Golden Knights lineup and make his NHL debut on Friday.
