Alec Martinez - Assists in consecutive games Martinez notched an assist, two PIM, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Impact Martinez has picked up a helper in each of the last two games. His assist Saturday came on the lone Vegas goal of the game by Chandler Stephenson. Martinez won't pile up points with much regularity, instead focusing on the defensive side of things. The 36-year-old has seven points, 39 shots on net, 83 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 26 contests overall.

Mark Stone - Collects assist in loss Stone notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Impact Stone helped out on Chandler Stephenson's third-period tally. This was Stone's seventh straight game without a goal, though he's managed a healthy five assists in that span. The 31-year-old winger is up to 41 points, 89 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 43 appearances. That matches the number of games he played in 2022-23 -- Vegas has dealt with plenty of injuries, but Stone hasn't had one of them yet.

Chandler Stephenson - Finds twine Saturday Stephenson scored a goal and added four hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Impact Stephenson was listed on the top line Saturday with Jack Eichel (undisclosed) joining William Karlsson (lower body) among Vegas' wounded centers. The goal was Stephenson's first since Dec. 17, but he was the only Golden Knight to solve Jacob Markstrom. Stephenson is up to seven tallies, 20 points, 49 shots on net, 23 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 39 outings. He may be able to jump-start his offense if he continues to see a bigger role, but he's been fairly disappointing for fantasy managers in the first half.

Logan Thompson - Receives little help in loss Thompson stopped 23 of 26 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Impact Thompson gave up two goals in a span of 1:58 in the first period, and that was enough to sink Vegas this time around. The 26-year-old has gone 3-4-0 over his last seven outings, allowing at least three goals in each of his losses while giving up two or fewer goals in his wins in that span. Thompson is down to 13-9-3 with a 2.77 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 26 appearances this season. He's the No. 1 goal for as long as it takes Adin Hill (undisclosed) to feel ready to play.

Impact Logan Thompson is expected to start while Isaiah Saville will be the backup goaltender. Patera has a 3.17 GAA and a .900 save percentage with AHL Henderson as well as a 3.75 GAA and a .901 save percentage in five outings with Vegas.

Adin Hill - Not expected to play Saturday Hill (undisclosed) didn't participate in Saturday's morning skate, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic, so he's not expected to return for the evening's game against Calgary.
Impact Hill hasn't been in net since Dec. 17. He has a 10-2-2 record, 1.93 GAA and .933 save percentage in 15 appearances in 2023-24. Logan Thompson is expected to start Saturday while Isaiah Saville, who was recalled from AHL Henderson, might serve as the backup goaltender. When Hill is healthy, he'll likely resume his role as Vegas' top netminder.

Jack Eichel - Won't play Saturday Eichel (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus Calgary.
Impact Eichel is still being evaluated to determine a timeline for his return. He has compiled 19 goals, 44 points, 173 shots on net and 40 blocked shots through 42 games this season. Chandler Stephenson is projected to center the top line in Saturday's contest.

Logan Thompson - Set to face Calgary Thompson will be between the home pipes versus Calgary on Saturday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Impact Thompson has won his last two starts -- giving up three goals on 62 shots -- giving him a 13-8-3 record to go with a 2.75 GAA and a .906 save percentage. Isaiah Saville was recalled from AHL Henderson on Saturday and will back up Thompson. The Flames are averaging 31.8 shots on goal per game, 11th in the NHL.

Isaiah Saville - Up from minors Saville was summoned from AHL Henderson on Saturday, SinBin.vegas reports.
Impact Saville served as Vegas' backup goaltender in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win against Boston before being returned to AHL Henderson on Friday. His return to the Golden Knights might suggest that Jiri Patera (undisclosed) and Adin Hill (undisclosed) won't be available Saturday against Calgary. At the least, Saville's presence provides the Golden Knights with an insurance policy should Patera and Hill need additional time to recover.

Byron Froese - Ascends to top level Froese was recalled from AHL Henderson on Saturday, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Impact Jack Eichel (undisclosed) was not at morning practice, while Froese centered the fourth line, between Jonas Rondbjerg and Keegan Kolesar. Froese had six goals and 12 points in 33 AHL games before his recall. Froese will likely enter the lineup should Eichel miss Saturday's tilt versus Calgary.
JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Tobias Bjornfot - Placed on injured reserve Vegas has put Bjornfot (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Impact Bjornfot was claimed off waivers from LA on Jan. 4 and he was in the Vegas lineup for a pair of games before not playing Thursday. He played only one game for the Kings this season, spending most of his time at AHL Ontario where he was pointless in nine games.
