Stone was not at practice on Friday due to the birth of his child and his status for Saturday's game against Utah HC is currently uncertain. The 32-year-old Stone is off to a monstrous start to the 2024-25 campaign, tied for the lead in NHL scoring with 19 points (5G / 14A) in 11 games.

Brisson will get the chance to play in his hometown on Wednesday as Vegas travels to Los Angeles to take on the Kings. Brisson is yet to register a point in six games this season. Cole Schwindt will sit in his place.

Schwindt will be the odd-man out on Wednesday as Brendan Brisson draws into the lineup. Schwindt has no goals and three assists in eight games this season.

Samsonov will be back between the pipes on Wednesday after Adin Hill led the Golden Knights to a shutout victory over the Flames on Monday. Samsonov secured the victory his last time out, stopping 23 of the 26 shots he faced as Vegas defeated the Sharks by a score of 7-3. Samsonov is off to an impressive start to his Golden Knights tenure, posting a 3-0-1 record and a .932 SV% across four appearances. He'll look to keep things rolling in a tight matchup on Wednesday as Vegas enters action at -130 on the money line.

Brendan Brisson will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Schwindt to re-enter the lineup for the Golden Knights. The 23-year-old Schwindt has one assist, seven blocks, and four hits through seven games this season.

Brisson has played the last five games for the Golden Knights but will return to being a healthy scratch as Cole Schwindt will draw back into the lineup. The 23-year-old Brisson had eight points (2G / 6A) in 15 games last season, his first taste of NHL action, but has been held off the scoresheet in six games this season.

The Golden Knights have not received adequate goaltending this season, allowing 3.1 goals per game, but their league-leading 4.9 goals per game have made up for any defensive deficiencies. Hill will start for the sixth time this season and look to improve on an unspectacular 3.85 GAA and .864 SV% through five games (3-2-0). The Golden Knights, riding a three-game winning streak, enter the action on Monday as -164 home favorites against the Calgary Flames.







It's unclear when Hague suffered the injury, but he was unable to join his teammates on the bench for the start of the third period of Friday's game. We should receive an update on his status ahead of Saturday's game against the Sharks.

After serving as the backup to Ilya Samsonov for the last two games, the Golden Knights will return to Adin Hill between the pipes on Friday against the Ottawa Senators. Despite a serviceable 2-2-0 record to start the season, the 28-year-old Hill has struggled, allowing three or more goals in all four of his contests, posting an ugly 3.81 GAA and .851 SV%. That said, the Golden Knights enter action on Friday as -125 home favorites against the Senators.

After a tremendous start to the 2024-25 season, scoring seven points (1G / 6A) in his first six games, Theodore has been rewarded with a seven-year, $51.975 million contract extension ($7.425 million AAV). The contract extension for the talented 29-year-old blue liner runs through 2031-32, Theodore's age 36 season. Theodore has battled some injuries the past several seasons, being limited to only 102 games but scoring 83 points (13G / 70A) in that span.
