Vegas Golden Knights News

Stone suffered a leg injury against the Flames on Friday and won’t travel with the team for Monday’s game. Marian Gaborik is expected to move up the lineup to replace Stone.

Hagg must have suffered an injury in Boston on Thursday and will miss at least two weeks. With Johnny Oduya (undisclosed) also hurt, Travis Sanheim has been recalled from Lehigh Valley (AHL) and will play on Saturday.

Lehner allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Sabres win in Ottawa on Thursday. In his last four appearances, Lehner has allowed 12 goals on 124 shots (.903 SV%). The 26-year-old is an ugly 6-12-3 on home-ice this season and draws a terrible matchup this afternoon with the 43-19-5 Golden Knights in town.

Lehner was beat four times on just 30 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Panthers on Friday. He came in relief of Chad Johnson last night, stopping 18 of the 19 shots he faced. He has just two wins in his last nine starts, but has a decent chance of getting back into the win column tonight against the Sens.

Smith was hurt in Tuesday’s game in Columbus and will come out of the lineup tonight vs. the Red Wings. With Smith out, Tomas Tatar, who is making his return to Detroit, will skate on the top line with William Karlsson and Jonathan Marchessault. There’s no word on how many games Smith is expected to miss.

Smith left yesterday’s game after being hit late in the second period and left the ice holding his left side. Head coach Gerard Gallant did not have an update on Smith post-game, so expect the Golden Knights to provide an update prior to Thursday’s game in Detroit.

Antti Raanta was scheduled to start on Monday but was a very late scratch due to some tightness. Hill’s call-up suggests that Raanta is going to miss at least one game and Hill will backup Darcy Kuemper on Wednesday. Hill has gone 14-10-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .911 SV% with Tucson this season.

Lehner allowed four goals on 35 shots in the Sabres loss in Washington last Saturday. Chad Johnson has started the last two games, but Lehner will start tonight in Florida. Lehner has gone 1-3-1 while allowing 18 goals on 165 shots (.891 SV%) in his last five starts. He gave up two goals on 29 shots in a 4-1 loss in his first start vs. Florida this season.

Theodore has missed the last six games with an illness, but will play on Friday. Theodore will replace Luca Sbisa, who is heading to IR. The young defenseman has picked up four goals and 14 assists (18 points) in 42 games in his first year with Vegas.

Theodore has missed the last four games with an illness, but head coach Gerard Gallant said that he’s had a couple of good skates and is possible for Monday’s contest. Theodore has been held pointless in his last eight contests.

Lehner stopped 35 of the 37 shots he faced in the Sabres’ 3-2 victory over the Wings on Thursday. It was a strong outing for Lehner, whose fantasy stock could be on the rise should he be moved ahead of Monday’s trade deadline. He draws a brutal matchup tonight in Washington.

Lehner was beat four times on 30 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Kings on Saturday. He will return to the Sabres lineup tonight after missing their last game with a hip injury. With the deadline looming, he has a great chance of improving his trade stock tonight against the Red Wings.
