The Golden Knights gave no indication of what is ailing McNabb or how serious it is but placing him on IR will force him to miss at least seven days. With McNabb out, Nick Holden was recalled from the taxi squad and should make his season debut on Thursday.





After sitting as Marc-Andre Fleury’s backup on Saturday, the Golden Knights will go back to Lehner tonight vs. the Coyotes. Lehner stopped 20 of 22 shots in a winning effort vs. Anaheim in the season opener. On Monday he takes on a Coyotes team that has started the season at 1-0-1 while scoring eight goals in their first two games.

Following a late-season trade to the Golden Knights, Lehner went 3-0-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .940 SV%. He didn't miss a beat in the NHL's return to play, taking over as Vegas' No.1 and going 9-7 with a 1.99 GAA and .917 SV%. Entering 2021 he's clearly the lead dog in Vegas but it remains to be seen just how large of a start share he's going to command.

Eichel suffered an upper-body injury while training and was held off of the ice for the first day of training camp. The Sabres consider Eichel as day-to-day, so it doesn't sound like he will miss any games. In practice, Casey Mittelstadt skated on the top line as a placeholder for Eichel, cantering a line with Taylor Hall and Victor Olofsson on his wings.






Hagg appeared in 49 games with the Flyers in 2020, scoring three goals with 10 assists (13 points). The 25-year-old led the Flyers in hits (136) and was tied for fourth in blocked shots (79). Hagg will likely be the Flyers No.6 defenseman in 2021.

As of now, Hill is the Coyotes No.3 netminder but there's a chance that Antti Raanta is moved in the offseason. In 2020, Hill was 2-4-3 with a 2.62 GAA and .918 SV% in the NHL and 15-5-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .918 SV% at the AHL-level.
