Jack Eichel - Undergoes lower-body surgery Eichel had surgery Tuesday to address and lower-body injury and will be week-to-week.

Impact While the Knights didn't provide any specifics regarding the nature of Eichel's injury, he probably should be expected to miss out until early February between the All-Star break and the Vegas bye week which runs Dec. 28-Feb 5. That would mark only six more missed games, though everything is speculative at this point given the lack of information from the team. For now, Chandler Stephenson figures to fill the first-line center role.

Nicolas Hague - Nabs helper Hague posted an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Hague snapped a 10-game point drought when he assisted on Mark Stone's first-period marker. The 25-year-old Hague plays as a mostly physical presence in a bottom-four role. He has eight points, 58 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 43 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 36 contests this season. The physicality could be a boost in deep fantasy formats.

Nicolas Roy - Generates assist Monday Roy notched an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Roy helped out on Jonathan Marchessault's empty-net goal in the third period. The 26-year-old Roy also led all Golden Knights forwards with 19:29 of ice time in the contest. He's seen a larger role lately with Jack Eichel (undisclosed) joining William Karlsson (lower body) on injured reserve, which leaves the team thin at center. Roy has 16 points, 61 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 35 outings and could be a good short-term add in fantasy while playing in the top six.

Alex Pietrangelo - Sets up empty-netter Pietrangelo notched an assist, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Pietrangelo has gotten offense back to a respectable level with three points and a plus-5 rating over his last five contests. The 33-year-old had just four points, all assists, in December. For the season, he's at 18 points, 98 shots on net, 93 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 39 appearances. With Shea Theodore (upper body) still lacking a clear timeline to return, Pietrangelo remains the top blueliner for Vegas.

Jonathan Marchessault - Empty-netter in 600th game Marchessault scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Marchessault celebrated his 600th NHL contest by snapping his nine-game goal drought. The winger has racked up 18 tallies this season, though he's earned 11 of them in his five multi-goal efforts. Overall, he has 30 points, 151 shots on net, 41 hits and a minus-3 rating through 44 outings.

Chandler Stephenson - Grabs two assists Stephenson picked up two helpers in Monday's 4-1 win over Nashville.

Impact Stephenson was a question mark for Monday's contest after missing Sunday's practice with an illness. However, the 29-year-old center would ultimately suit up and pick up assists on two of Mark Stone's three goals in the Vegas win. Stephenson now has a goal and three points in his last two games after picking up just one point (an assist) in his previous 10 contests. Overall, he's up to 22 points (seven goals, 15 assists) through 40 games this season.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Pavel Dorofeyev - Two helpers in win Dorofeyev recorded a pair of assists in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Predators.

Impact Dorofeyev set up Mark Stone's first two goals in Monday's contest, picking up the primary helper on his opening-period tally and another in the second to extend Vegas' lead to 2-0. It's just the second multi-point game of the season for the 23-year-old Dorofeyev, who'd gone scoreless in his previous three contests. Overall, he's up to five goals and 14 points through 25 games while primarily playing a top-six role this season.

Logan Thompson - Stops 34 in win Thompson stopped 34 of 35 shots in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Predators.

Impact Thompson was excellent Monday, allowing a single goal on a Luke Evangelista deflection in the second period as he cruised to the 4-1 win. The 26-year-old netminder has now won three of his last four starts, sporting a .943 save percentage in that span. With Adin Hill's (undisclosed) return still unclear, Thompson will likely be back between the pipes Thursday at home versus the Rangers.

Impact Stone opened the scoring in the first period, snapping a rebound from the slot past Juuse Saros, before adding two more goals in the second for the first hat trick of his 12-year NHL career. The 31-year-old Stone had gone seven games without a goal before Monday's matchup, though he did record five assists in that span. Overall, Stone's up to 44 points (15 goals, 29 assists) through 44 games this season, putting him on pace to surpass his career high of 64 set back in 2014 with the Senators.

He has amassed 19 goals, 44 points, 173 shots on net and 40 blocked shots through 42 games this season. With William Karlsson (lower body) and Chandler Stephenson (illness) also unavailable, Nicolas Roy centered the top line during Sunday's practice.

Impact Froese is back with the big club because Chandler Stephenson (illness) won't practice Sunday. The 32-year-old Froese made his NHL season debut Saturday versus Calgary, picking up two hits in 8:22 of ice time.
