Pacioretty (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.

Pacioretty has missed the last 12 games but he could be back in the lineup vs. the Coyotes on Saturday. Pacioretty skated on the third line with Chandler Stephenson and Mattias Janmark on Friday, a good sign for his availability against the league's worst team. Pacioretty will provide a huge boost for the Golden Knights down the stretch and they need it. They start Saturday two points behind the Dallas Stars for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference, and the Stars have two games in hand.

Pacioretty underwent successful wrist surgery and is out indefinitely.

This is obviously a big blow for the Golden Knights. Pacioretty leads the team in points-per-game (1.31) having scored 12 goals with nine assists (21 points) in 16 games. Pacioretty will likely go on LTIR in order to create enough salary space to eventually activate Jack Eichel.
