Smith missed Thursday's game in Buffalo with what is now known to be a knee injury. He was sent back to Vegas with Robin Lehner, as both are being evaluated for injuries. Michael Amadio moved up into the Golden Knights' top-6 with Smith out on Thursday.



It's unclear what is ailing Smith but he will not be available for Thursday's game in Buffalo. Expect Nic Roy or Evgenii Dadonov to move back into the top-6 with Smith out.



A bug appears to be going around the Devils room, Pavel Zacha missed their last game with a non-COVID illness and now it looks like Vesey may not be available on Sunday. He missed Saturday's practice, so monitor his status as the Devils hit the ice for warmups at 12:30 PM ET.

Bonino missed Friday's practice with a non-COVID illness and is expected to play vs. the Predators. Jasper Weatherby was set to be a healthy scratch but will likely play if Bonino is unavailable.
