The Vegas Golden Knights will be without a couple of veterans as they look to claw their way back into their second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers.
The Vegas Golden Knights will be without a couple of veterans as they look to claw their way back into their second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers.
Defenceman Brayden McNabb and forward Brandon Saad have been listed as day-to-day and won’t suit up for Game 3 of the series on Saturday night, head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters after morning skate.
In more positive news, however, leading scorer Pavel Dorofeyev is expected to return for Game 3 after missing the last three games with an undisclosed injury.
McNabb suffered the injury in overtime of Game 2 after being shoved into the boards by Oilers forward Viktor Arvidsson. No penalty was called on the play, and Vegas lost the game shortly after.

The injury remains undisclosed, but McNabb appeared to be favouring his left arm as he left the ice.
The 34-year-old tallied five goals and 15 assists after suiting up for all 82 regular-season games for Vegas this season. In eight playoff games, he has three assists and is averaging 21:14 of ice time.
Saad, meanwhile, is also dealing with an undisclosed injury. He played 16:11 of ice time in Game 2 of the series, registering one hit and one blocked shot. The 32-year-old has two assists in eight games this post-season.
Dorofeyev led the Golden Knights in scoring over the regular season, recording 35 goals in 82 games. He sustained the undisclosed injury late in Vegas’s 3-2 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild in Game 5 of their first-round series.
The left-shot winger was replaced in the lineup by Victor Olofsson in Games 1 and 2, who scored 15 goals this season. Olofsson also took Dorofeyev’s spot on the power play.
Puck drops on Game 3 of the Golden Knights’ second-round series against the Oilers at 9 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. MT with live coverage on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
