Skjei was a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Brendan Smith tonight vs. the Islanders. Skjei has one goal and six assists while averaging 21:51 TOI/gm through 19 games this season.
Skjei has been held pointless in four straight games and will be replaced by Brenden Smith on Saturday.
Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant announced on Wednesday that Haula is “month-to-month” but wouldn’t say if he needed surgery. Haula will likely be out until at least mid-December and could be out much longer than that.
Haula was stretchered off of the ice in Toronto on November 6th, but his injury remains a bit of a mystery. TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported that Haula’s injury is complex and the Golden Knights won’t know the full extent of the injury until he receives second and third medical opinions. It sounds like the second-line centre will miss at least a couple of months.
Saros gets the nod for the Preds on Tuesday after Rinne lead them to a 2-1 victory over the Ducks last night. Saros has performed well in limited action, posting a 7-2-0 record on the season. He draws a difficult matchup tonight on the road against the Sharks.
Jost has missed the last four games with a head injury, but is expected to play Friday vs. the Jets. Jost will re-enter the lineup with just two points (1G / 1A) and nine shots on goal in 11 games.
Haula was stretchered off of the ice after a collision with Patrick Marleau on Tuesday and will miss the rest of the Golden Knights’ road-trip. Haula will likely be re-evaluated once the Golden Knights return to Vegas and a full timetable will be released. However, this has to seem like positive news because it looked like his season could be over last night.
It seemed likely that Jost would return to the Avalanche lineup, but he will not play tonight vs. the Predators. With Jost still out, Vladislav Kamenev is expected to remain in a top-6 role.
Jost has been sidelined since October 26th, but could be back tonight vs. the Predators. Jost’s status will be determined after the morning skate, so keep an eye on him this afternoon. Jost had a slow start to the season, picking up just one goal and one assist (two points) in 11 games.
Gravel has appeared in just two games with the Oilers and will play in his first game since October 25th. Gravel has averaged just 10:35 TOI/GM this season.
Gravel has just one assist in five games with the Condors this season and has been recalled to take Evan Bouchard’s spot on the roster. Bouchard was sent to the OHL for the rest of the season, so Gravel will likely remain with the Oilers as their sixth/seventh defenseman. He has 10 points (1G / 9A) in 72 career NHL games with the Kings (70 GP) and Oilers (2 GP).
Jost will miss Colorado’s trip to Western Canada, so Vladislav Kamenev will move up and centre the second line. Monitor Jost’s stats as the Avalanche return to home-ice next Wednesday.
