Top Golden Knights News

  • Golden Knights' Ivan Barbashev: Deemed day-to-day

    Barbashev (upper body) didn't practice Tuesday and is day-to-day, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

    Barbashev sustained the injury in Sunday's 3-2 win over Minnesota, and it's unclear if he will be ready to play Thursday versus Vancouver. He has compiled 15 goals, 30 points, 58 hits and 51 shots on net across 31 appearances this season. Cole Schwindt might play against the Canucks if Barbashev is unavailable, while Brett Howden or Victor Olofsson could move to the top line.

  • Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Plucks apple in win

    Dorofeyev logged an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

    Dorofeyev's offense had turned cold recently -- his assist snapped a six-game drought. The 24-year-old winger remains in a second-line role, but he's been under 15 minutes of ice time in three straight contests. He's produced 18 points, 93 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 31 outings, putting him on track for a career year, but his production has been goal-heavy, so he may be prone to some slumps when he doesn't have his shot right.

  • Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Offers helper

    Karlsson produced an assist and five shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

    Karlsson set up Victor Olofsson's game-winning tally in the third period. The 31-year-old Karlsson has been a bit quiet with just three points over his last nine outings. For the season, the center is up to five goals, eight assists, 51 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 22 appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Contributes assist in win

    Stone logged an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

    Stone has three assists over four outings since he returned from a lower-body injury. His helper Sunday was his first even-strength point in that span. The 32-year-old winger is up to six goals, 18 helpers, 32 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 17 appearances in a top-line role.

  • Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Provides two assists in win

    Eichel notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

    Eichel has picked up a goal and five helpers over his last five contests. The center also has two power-play points in that span -- he went 10 games without contributing on the power play from Nov. 17 to Dec. 4. For the season, the 28-year-old has excelled as the Golden Knights' top forward, racking up nine goals, 33 assists, 90 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 31 appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Collects two points in win

    Theodore scored a goal on three shots, added a power-play assist and blocked three shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

    Theodore has four multi-point efforts over his last five games, earning three goals and five assists in that span. The 29-year-old was involved in the Golden Knights' first two goals in this contest. The defenseman now has four goals, 26 points, 59 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 30 outings overall. Theodore probably can't sustain this level of offense all season, but he should continue to be productive as long as he's seeing time on the top power-play unit.

  • Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Scores twice in Sunday's win

    Olofsson scored two goals, including one on the power play, and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

    Olofsson has four goals over his last three games. The 29-year-old winger is up to seven tallies (four on the power play), two assists, 27 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 11 appearances. Olofsson may be considered for a move to the top line after Ivan Barbashev (upper body) was injured in Sunday's contest.

  • Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Picks up win Sunday

    Samsonov stopped 20 of 22 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

    Samsonov has won four of his last five outings, allowing a total of 15 goals in that span. The 27-year-old allowed both goals to Kirill Kaprizov in Sunday's contest, but the Golden Knights supported him with two goals by Victor Olofsson and one from Shea Theodore. Samsonov is up to 7-3-1 with a 3.06 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 11 starts. Adin Hill remains Vegas' top goalie, but Samsonov has been generally steady enough in the backup role. The team has just three more games before the holiday break, so it's unclear if Samsonov will get a start in that span.

  • Golden Knights' Ivan Barbashev: Injured Sunday

    Barbashev suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's 3-2 win over Minnesota, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Barbashev had a minus-1 rating in 5:00 of ice time before exiting Sunday's contest. Head coach Bruce Cassidy had no update on the winger's status, but the 29-year-old will have a few days off before the Golden Knights host the Canucks on Thursday. Barbashev has provided 15 goals and 15 helpers through 31 appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Tending twine Sunday

    Samsonov will guard the road goal against Minnesota on Sunday, according to SinBin.Vegas.

    Samsonov will get the second half of Vegas' back-to-back after Adin Hill played in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton. The 27-year-old Samsonov has a 6-3-1 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 10 appearances. Minnesota ranks 13th in the league with 3.17 goals per game in 2024-25 and earned a 4-1 win over Philadelphia on Saturday.

  • Golden Knights' Noah Hanifin: Contributes two assists

    Hanifin notched two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

    Hanifin ended a seven-game slump by assisting on consecutive goals from Victor Olofsson and Ivan Barbashev in a span of 26 seconds in the second period. The 27-year-old Hanifin has had a handful of bursts on offense, but he's often been more cold than hot when it comes to point production. He's at three goals, 11 assists, 56 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 30 appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Back-to-back goals

    Olofsson scored a goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

    Olofsson has found the back of the net in back-to-back for the first time this season, and he's up to four points (two goals, two assists) in his last four games. The 29-year-old Swede missed 20 games between Oct. 17 and Nov. 29 due to a lower-body injury, but he's been making his presence felt since returning to the lineup.

  • Golden Knights' Ivan Barbashev: Continues to produce

    Barbashev netted a goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton.

    Barbashev found the back of the net for the second game in a row, and the 29-year-old Russian winger continues to remain an extremely productive presence in the Golden Knights' attack. He's up to seven goals and 11 points over his last 10 games, and that productive stretch has been fueled by his efficiency, as Barbashev has netted those seven goals on only 16 shots. Barbashev has 15 goals and 15 assists in 30 games overall.

  • Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Scores shortie Saturday

    Howden scored a shorthanded goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton.

    Howden took advantage of a mistake from Stuart Skinner, who tripped and fell while playing the puck behind his goal when the Oilers had the man advantage, to score for the first time since the forward's two-goal performance in a 4-3 win over the Jets on Nov. 29. Howden has 11 goals and one assist across 30 appearances this season.

  • Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Gives up season-high six goals

    Hill stopped 28 of 34 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

    This was Hill's worst performance of the season, and this defeat also snapped his four-game winning streak. The Oilers are a tough matchup for any team in the league due to their star-studded offense, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about Hill's upside going forward. He's gone 3-1-0 with a 2.50 GAA and a .918 save percentage in four December starts.

  • Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Defending crease Saturday

    Hill will guard the road goal against Edmonton Saturday, per SinBin.Vegas.

    Hill has stopped 106 of 113 shots during his four-game winning streak. He has a 13-4-2 record with two shutouts, a 2.59 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 19 appearances this season. Edmonton is tied for 13th in the league with 3.14 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar: Receives three-year extension

    Kolesar signed a three-year, $7.5 million extension with the Golden Knights on Friday.

    Kolesar will get a bump in salary from $1.4 million to $2.5 million AAV. The 27-year-old has been a bottom-six fixture for the Golden Knights and was set for unrestricted free agency this summer prior to signing the extension. He has contributed seven goals, four assists, 90 hits and 33 shots on net while averaging a career-high 12:55 of ice time per game over 29 appearances in 2024-25.
