Martinez missed the Golden Knights' previous game due to personal reasons but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday vs. Edmonton. The 35-year-old has two goals, 11 assists, 64 SOG, 27 PIMs and a +22 plus/minus through 68 games played this season.

Martinez has two goals, 11 assists, 64 SOG, 22 PIMS and a +27 plus/minus through 68 games this season but will not be available Saturday vs. Edmonton as he has returned to Vegas due to personal reasons. The 35-year-old should be back in the Vegas lineup sooner rather than later when more updates appear on Martinez's status.

Martinez left the Golden Knights' previous game after just 6:20 TOI due to a lower-body injury and will not play Wednesday vs. Anaheim. The 35-year-old has five assists, 33 SOG, 14 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus through 37 games prior to the injury.

Martinez has been out since November 11th after suffering a facial injury and nerve damage. The veteran will draw back into the lineup on Saturday and will provide a huge boost to the Golden Knights' bluelline. He has three assists in 11 games before getting hurt.

Martinez was on the ice for Monday's practice but will not return to the lineup on Tuesday. The Golden Knights could have used him, with Zach Whitecloud out and Nic Hague as a game-time decision.

Martinez will miss his second straight game on Tuesday but his status beyond then has not been determined. Monitor his status leading up to Thursday's game vs. the Red Wings.

Martinez fell awkwardly during Wednesday's loss to the Blues and did not return. Martinez was held off of the ice on Thursday and Friday and will not play vs. the Oilers. With Martinez unavailable, Nicolas Hague is expected to skate with Alex Pietrangelo.
