Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Steady spot in lineup
Zach 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.

The defenseman has been a regular for the Vegas 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.
