Pacioretty (illness) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Pacioretty has been absolutely red-hot as of late, scoring eight goals with three assists (11 points) in his last eight games. Pacioretty is fighting a sickness and is officially listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game vs. the Capitals. Keep an eye on his status as the Golden Knights hit the ice for warmups at 9:30 pm.

Pacioretty (upper-body) is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Maple Leafs.

Pacioretty has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury that he suffered vs.the Lightning on October 26th. Pacioretty will be back on a line with Erik Haula and Alex Tuch. He has just two goals in 10 games, but it is not for a lack of trying—the winger has 26 shots on goal, so that 7.7 SH% should improve closer to his career mark of 11.0%.

Pacioretty (upper-body) practiced on Monday but remains questionable for Tuesday.

Pacioretty has been sidelined for the last four games, but could play Tuesday in Toronto. Pacioretty has had a slow start to the season, scoring just two goals on 26 shots in 10 games before getting hurt. Monitor his status during Tuesday’s morning skate.

The Golden Knights have acquired Max Pacioretty from the Canadiens for Tomas Tatar, Nick Suzuki and a 2019 2nd Round Pick.

Pacioretty is entering the final season of a six-year, $27M contract that he signed back in 2012. Despite a down-year in 2018, Pacioretty has been one of the NHL’s most consistent goal-scorers in recent years, scoring 30-plus goals in five of the last six (full 82 game) seasons. Since 2011-12, Pacioretty ranks ninth in the NHL in goals (206) and 25th in points (399). A career-worst 8.0 shooting percentage can be to blame for last year’s drop in production. Expect Pacioretty to thrive on a powerful Vegas offence and return to 30-goals in 2019.

Pacioretty (lower-body) has returned to Montreal; will not play on Saturday.

Pacioretty left late in last night’s win over the Islanders and will have to come out of the lineup tonight in Boston. With the season all but over for the Canadiens, there’s no need to force Pacioretty into any games down the stretch. He has returned to Montreal to be re-evaluated.
