Whitecloud missed the Golden Knights' final game before the All-Star break and will miss at least the first two games after. For now, he's been ruled out for the two-game road trip, so monitor his status as the Golden Knights return home for next Wednesday's game vs. the Avalanche.
Eichel removed the no-contact jersey and was a full participant in Monday's practice. Eichel skated on the "fifth" line with Nolan Patrick and Michael Amadio, so he's not ready to play yet, but he is nearing his Golden Knights debut.
Hague was listed as day-to-day on Monday but has been upgraded to a game-time decision. The Golden Knights are already without Alec Martinez and Zach Whitecloud, so missing Hague as well would leave them very shorthanded on the blueline.
Pearson has missed the last four games while in COVID-19 protocol but will play Tuesday in Nashville. It's unclear who Pearson will replace but he should be back in the Canucks' top-6. He's scored seven goals with 11 assists (18 points) in 41 games this season.
Hague is day-to-day and not expected to play Tuesday vs. the Sabres, but Alec Martinez was on the ice on Monday and could draw back in to replace him.
Whitecloud will miss the Golden Knights' final game before the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury. The Golden Knights may also be without Nic Hague but could get Alec Martinez vs. the Sabres.
McNabb has been with the Golden Knights since the beginning, averaging four goals, 11 assists, 87 shots, 215 hits and 166 blocked shots per 82 games in four and half seasons with Vegas. McNabb was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Hill will not be available for Wednesday's game in Washington, so James Reimer will start and Zach Sawchenko will serve as the backup. Hill should be considered questionable heading into the Sharks' back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday.
