Stephenson missed Sunday's practice with an illness and is questionable for Monday's game against the Predators.

The Golden Knights recalled 2020 first-round pick Brendan Brisson earlier in the day, so he could potentially slide into the lineup for his NHL debut if Stephenson is unable to go on Monday. Stephenson has seven goals and 13 assists in 39 games this season.

Stephenson was absent at the Golden Knights' morning skate and play after being a game-time decision ahead of Game 3 vs. Dallas due to an illness. If the 29-year-old is forced to miss any time, it will be a massive loss for Vegas as he has a goal and three points across the first two games of the Western Conference Finals and is third on the team in playoff scoring with seven goals, 13 points, 19 SOG, and 18 PIMs
