Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: On injured reserve
Rotowire
Hague (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site.

Hague has a goal, 13 hits and 12 blocks in nine outings in 2024-25. When healthy, Hague might serve on the third pairing.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Out with lower-body issue
Rotowire
Hague will not be available against the Stars for Game 2 on Wednesday due to a lower-body injury.
Hague was officially classified as day-to-day, so he could still be an option for Game 3 back in Dallas on Saturday.
