Bishop has been a fine AHL veteran this season, picking up 25 points over 69 appearances. He's generated seven goals and two assists over his last 12 outings. Bishop is doing well to finish the campaign but probably won't get an NHL call-up this late in the year.

White has five goals and three assists over his last four outings. The AHL veteran is up to 21 goals, 48 points and 94 shots on net over 44 appearances. He's been excellent lately and will look to keep things up late in the regular season and into the playoffs.

He's been on a massive heater lately, racking up 15 goals and 12 assists during a 14-game point streak. Lavoie has 17 games of NHL experience under his belt, and he could be an option if the Golden Knights need forward depth heading into the postseason, though he'll likely play through Henderson's playoff run first.

Pinelli scored two goals in AHL Ontario's 4-1 win over Coachella Valley on Friday.

Pinelli has four goals and three assists over his last nine outings. He's had the best season of his AHL career so far with 14 goals and 35 points over 62 appearances. Pinelli's next game will be the 200th of his AHL career.
