Rotowire
Theodore notched an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Oilers.

His offense will keep him on most fantasy rosters, but he's been a little lacking in non-scoring production so far, and Theodore may see lesser opportunities now that Noah Hanifin has moved past his early slump.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Slated to play Friday

Theodore missed Tuesday's 6-1 win over LA due to the illness. He has a goal and seven points in six outings in 2024-25. Theodore's expected return might result in Kaedan Korczak, who logged 17:22 of ice time in his season debut Tuesday, being a healthy scratch Friday.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Hot start continues
Rotowire
Theodore picked up two goals in a 4-3 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.
One assist came on the power play. Theodore, who was especially effective for fantasy managers in limited play last season (42 points in 47 regular-season games), has seven points (one goal, six assists) in five appearances this season. Theodore is in the last year of his current seven-year, $5.2 million AAV deal, and at 29 years old, he is due for a big raise even with his defensive game showing holes. Whether that comes with the notoriously prudent Golden Knights or not remains to be seen.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Trio of helpers in win
Rotowire
Theodore registered three assists in Wednesday's 8-4 win over Colorado.
Two of Theodore's assists came with the man advantage -- he added one shot and two blocks in 19:39 of ice time. If Theodore can stay healthy, the 29-year-old's career-high of 52 points in 2021-22 could be within reach. The left-shot blueliner is quarterbacking Vegas' top power-play unit, and he should be able to fend off Noah Hanifin and Alex Pietrangelo for that role if he continues to perform at a high level. Theodore banked 42 points in 47 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.
