Vegas has acquired Jeremy Lauzon and Colton Sissons from Nashville for the rights to Nicolas Hague.

Late Sunday, Vegas announced that they had moved the rights to Nicolas Hague to Nashville for Jeremy Lauzon and Colton Sissons. Lauzon is a 28-year-old defenseman who appeared in only 28 games for Nashville during the 2024-25 season, struggling offensively, with a modest assist and 37 PIMs, while averaging 17:58 TOI/GP. He is expected to battle for one of Vegas' final defensive spots ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Vegas moved on from six-year veteran Nicolas Hague on Sunday when they agreed to a deal with Nashville for Colton Sissons and Jeremy Lauzon. Sissons is a 31-year-old centre who should battle for a bottom-six position with Vegas in 2025-26. He appeared in 72 games with Nashville in 2024-25, producing his lowest goal (7), point (21) and SOG (80) totals since 2020-21.

The Golden Knights have signed Brandon Saad to a one-year deal worth $2.0 million.

Saad was signed mid-season after being bought out by the Blues and had 14 points (6G / 8A) in 29 games with the Golden Knights. At $2.0M AAV, Saad is a cheap middle-6 winger that can still provide some offence, having averaged 40 points (21G / 19A) per 82 games over the last three seasons.

Vegas has signed Reilly Smith to a one-year, $2 million contract extension.

Vegas will keep a veteran presence around after they signed forward Reilly Smith to a one-year, $2 million contract extension on Wednesday. The 34-year-old was acquired at last season's trade deadline from New York and put up three goals, 11 points and a +11 plus/minus in 21 games after returning to Vegas.

Hill will start Game 5 against the Oilers.

Hill allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Golden Knights' 3-0 loss in Edmonton in Game 4. Hill has allowed three-plus goals in every game this series and now Vegas finds themselves on the brink of elimination. Overall, Hill has gone 5-5 with a 3.15 GAA and .876 SV% in 10 playoff games.

Stone (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Game 5 vs. Edmonton.

Stone was absent from the morning skate and despite head coach Bruce Cassidy calling him a game-time decision, there are reports that he won't play in Game 5. Look for Victor Olofsson to move up to the Jack Eichel line and for Nicolas Roy to move up to the second-line in Stone's absence.

Hill will make his tenth start of the 2025 NHL Playoffs when the Golden Knights travel to Edmonton for Game 4 on Monday.

The Golden Knights enter action on Monday at +105 on the money line.

Stone (undisclosed) is day-to-day but hopeful to be ready for Game 4 on Monday.

Stone left Game 3 after just six shifts and 5:54 TOI due to an undisclosed injury but is hopeful to return for Game 4 on Monday after announcing his diagnosis is day-to-day. The 32-year-old Golden Knights' captain will make a massive loss if he is forced to miss any time after picking up four goals and eight points in his first nine playoff games.

Hill will start vs. Edmonton in Game 3 on Saturday.

The Golden Knights, down 2-0 to the Edmonton Oilers in their second-round matchup, are desperate for a win in Game 3 on Saturday and will roll with Hill between the pipes. Hill has been unspectacular in the 2024-25 postseason, posting a pedestrian 3.16 GAA and .874 SV% in eight games (4-4). He allowed five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%) in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers. The Golden Knights enter Game 3 as slight +104 road underdogs against the Oilers.

Pietrangelo (illness) took full part in warmups and is expected to play in Game 2 against the Oilers.

Pietrangelo has missed Vegas' previous two games with an illness but appears set to return for Game 2 vs. Edmonton. Vegas would gladly welcome back its top defender with open arms after he put up a goal and three points in six games played in the Golden Knights' opening series.
