Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Pockets power-play assist
Rotowire
Theodore logged a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.
Theodore has a power-play helper in two of the last three games. He's slowed down after a torrid start to the year, but the 29-year-old defenseman continues to play big minutes for the Golden Knights, though he was listed on the third pairing at even strength Wednesday. Theodore has nine points (five on the power play), 18 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 10 appearances, and he'll be a safe option in fantasy as long as he's on the top power-play unit.

Rotowire
Theodore notched an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.
Theodore got his first point since signing a seven-year contract extension with Vegas on Thursday. The 29-year-old defenseman has a goal, seven assists, 15 shots, nine blocked shots and a minus-4 rating while playing steady minutes in a top-four role. Theodore has plenty of scoring upside on his own, and it helps that he plays an integral role for the highest-scoring team in the league.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Inks seven-year extension
Rotowire
Theodore signed a seven-year, $51.975 million contract extension with the Golden Knights on Thursday.
Theodore is in his eighth season with the Golden Knights, and his extension will keep him under contract with Vegas through the 2031-32 campaign. He's struggled with injuries over the past two years, as he hasn't appeared in more than 55 games in either season. Over his first six outings in 2024-25, he's tallied a goal and six assists, including three on the power play, while averaging 21:56 of ice time. After missing Tuesday's game against the Kings due to an illness, he's expected to return to action Friday against Ottawa.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Slated to play Friday
Rotowire
Theodore (illness) took part in Wednesday's optional skate and is expected to play Friday versus Ottawa, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
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: Missing Tuesday's game
Rotowire
Theodore (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Kings.
Theodore will be replaced by Kaedan Korczak in the lineup. The 29-year-old Theodore has started the year with seven points (three on the power play) over six contests. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of a back-to-back at home with games Friday versus the Senators and Saturday against the Sharks.

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: Stays hot Friday
Rotowire
Theodore scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
Theodore scored in the second period and set up a Nicolas Roy tally in the third. This was Theodore's second straight multi-point effort to begin the season. The defenseman is up to five points, four shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over two contests. The 29-year-old has missed significant time with injuries over the last two years, but he has high-scoring upside if he can stay healthy -- Theodore has averaged 51 points per 82 games during his career, but he's topped the 70-game mark in just three of his first nine seasons.

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.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Garners assist in win
Rotowire
Theodore notched an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 7-2 win over the Wild.
Theodore's offense has slowed down lately -- he has just three assists over his last seven contests. The 28-year-old defenseman has also lost his top-unit power-play role to Noah Hanifin. Theodore is still a strong scoring option from the blue line with five goals, 40 points, 94 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and a plu-4 rating through 44 appearances, but it's unreasonable to expect him to hover around a point-per-game pace down the stretch.

The 28-year-old defenseman is up to five goals, 39 points, 90 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 41 contests.
