Whitecloud will miss the Golden Knights' final game before the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury. The Golden Knights may also be without Nic Hague but could get Alec Martinez vs. the Sabres.
McNabb has been with the Golden Knights since the beginning, averaging four goals, 11 assists, 87 shots, 215 hits and 166 blocked shots per 82 games in four and half seasons with Vegas. McNabb was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Hill will not be available for Wednesday's game in Washington, so James Reimer will start and Zach Sawchenko will serve as the backup. Hill should be considered questionable heading into the Sharks' back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday.
Pearson tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be available for Tuesday's game vs. the Oilers. J.T. Miller cleared COVID-19 protocol and will replace Pearson in the lineup.
Mackenzie Blackwood was moved to IR on Wednesday, so Schmid was recalled to pair with Jon Gillies as the Devils' goaltending duo moving forward. Schmid, who was a fifth-round pick in 2018, has been excellent in the AHL, going 9-0-2 with a 1.54 GAA and .948 SV% in 11 games.
Hague will replace Daniil Mriomanov on the Golden Knights' blueline and re-enters the lineup with 13 points (3G / 10A) in 32 games this season. Monday will be Hague's first game since December 28th.
