  20H ago • By RotoWire

  Whitecloud (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Canadiens in the third period and didn't return, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. There was no additional information regarding Whitecloud's injury after the contest. The defenseman had one assist, three hits and two blocked shots prior to the injury. Vegas is also missing Alex Pietrangelo (upper body), whose status is unknown for the team's road trip, and Ben Hutton (upper body), who is on long-term injured reserve until at least mid-December. If Whitecloud's injury is serious, the Golden Knights will need to recall a defenseman prior to Monday's game versus the Flyers.

• Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Steady spot in lineup

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Whitecloud was held off the scoresheet for the 17th straight game in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. Whitecloud has been steady in a bottom-four role, but he hasn't done anything on offense since he scored Opening Night. The 27-year-old blueliner has added 28 hits, 31 blocked shots, 14 shots on net, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 appearances. Whitecloud has never earned a 20-point campaign and will face an uphill battle to approach that mark this year, so he's not much of an option in fantasy.

• Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Deposits goal in season-opening win

  10/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Whitecloud scored a goal and added two hits in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche. Whitecloud's goal came in the second period while he was on the ice alongside the top line. The defenseman has been a regular for the Golden Knights over the last four years, but he has topped 60 games just once and has a career high of 19 points in a single season. As such, his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats that count hits and blocked shots, as he is unlikely to score enough in a third-pairing role to draw widespread appeal.
