Vegas Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault has entered COVID-19 protocols, the club announced Tuesday.
The forward will be out of the lineup for Tuesday night’s game against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes. He joins forward William Carrier, who was placed in protocols Monday.
The pair join a long list of Vegas forwards out of the lineup. William Karlsson, Max Pacioretty, Jack Eichel, Nolan Patrick are all out, but the team has gotten some relief with Mark Stone returning to the lineup.
In a corresponding move, the Golden Knights have recalled Paul Cotter and Sven Baertschi from the AHL.
