Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner sent for testing on lower-body injury
The Vegas Golden Knights have sent goaltender Robin Lehner back to Las Vegas to undergo more testing for what the team is calling a lower-body injury.
Robin Lehner has been sent back to Las Vegas for “some tests” relating to a lower body injury.
Logan Thompson has joined the team here in Buffalo and Laurent Brossoit will start tonight against the Sabres.
The Golden Knights are in the midst of a five-game road trip and are set to take on the Buffalo Sabres Thursday night. They fly to Pittsburgh to battle the Penguins Friday before playing Columbus Sunday and Winnipeg on Tuesday.
While in and out of the lineup this year with different injuries, Lehner had put together four games in early March after missing most of February with an upper-body injury.
Lehner has appeared in 38 games this year for the Golden Knights, posting a 21-15-1 record, a .909 save percentage and 2.77 GAA while saving 0.9 goals above average.
The team will turn to Laurent Brossoit and Logan Thompson while Lehner is out.
