Chandler Stephenson - Good to go Stephenson (illness) will be back in the lineup Tuesday against Nashville.
Impact Stephenson, who sat out Monday's 4-3 shootout win over Minnesota, will be back on the third line of the Golden Knights. He has registered 15 goals, 59 points, 112 shots on net and 73 hits in 76 contests this campaign.

Shea Theodore - Still sidelined Theodore (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Predators.
Impact Theodore will miss his fourth straight game. An update on his status may be available prior to Thursday's home game versus the Kings.

Alex Pietrangelo - Scores twice vs. Nashville Pietrangelo supplied a pair of goals in Vegas' 3-2 overtime loss to Nashville on Tuesday.
Impact It was Pietrangelo's first multi-goal effort of the 2022-23 campaign. The 33-year-old was on a roll, recording a goal and 14 points over 10 contests from March 9-28, but he cooled down with just an assist over the three-game stretch leading into Tuesday's action. Perhaps he's launching right back into another hot streak. Through 69 appearances this season, Pietrangelo has 11 goals and 52 points.
APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Quick - Can't overcome Predators Quick turned aside 24 of 27 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to Nashville on Tuesday.
Impact Quick surrendered two of those three goals while the Predators were on the power play. This was the second straight start that he's lost, but at least the goaltender improved compared to his March 28 outing against Edmonton, during which he allowed six goals on 34 shots. Quick has a 5-3-0 record, 3.43 GAA and .895 save percentage in nine contests since being acquired by Vegas.

Chandler Stephenson - Earns helper in return Stephenson notched an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Stephenson missed Monday's game in Minnesota with an illness. He was eased back in a bit, logging just 15:17 of ice time in his typical third-line role Tuesday. The 28-year-old forward has collected 10 points over his last 13 outings, and he's reached the 60-point mark for the second year in a row. He has 14 tallies, 46 helpers, 113 shots on net, 73 hits, 54 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 77 contests.
APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Marchessault - Snaps small slump Marchessault notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Marchessault's helper ended a three-game dry spell for the winger. The 32-year-old was excellent with nine goals and seven assists over 15 contests in March, but he's since cooled off slightly. For the season, he's at 26 tallies, 29 helpers, 220 shots, 75 hits, 19 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 72 appearances.
APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Eichel - Provides assist in overtime loss Eichel logged an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Eichel helped out on the second of Alex Pietrangelo's goals in the game. It's now a seven-game point streak for Eichel, who has a goal and nine helpers in that span. The center is up to 64 points, 218 shots, 57 hits and a plus-25 rating through 65 contests overall.
APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Phil Kessel - Snags helper Tuesday Kessel produced an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
Impact Kessel ended a three-game slump with the assist. Prior to his quiet stretch, he'd posted a five-game point streak. The 35-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 21 assists, 142 shots on net, 28 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 78 outings, playing mainly in a third-line role throughout the season.

Jack Eichel - Extends streak with helper Eichel recorded an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.
Impact Eichel's helper extended his point streak to six games (one goals eight assists). The 26-year-old center is up to 63 points, 213 shots on net, 57 hits, 53 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating through 64 outings overall. He's hot at just the right time for Vegas fans and fantasy managers alike, and he should stay that way with the Golden Knights looking to hold onto the top spot in the Pacific Division.
APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Reilly Smith - Logs helper in return Smith picked up an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.
Impact Smith returned from a four-game absence and played a key role in Monday's comeback win. He set up the first of Pavel Dorofeyev's two goals in the game, and it was Smith's tally in round five of the shootout that earned Vegas the win. The winger is up to 52 points, 171 shots on net, 66 hits and a plus-9 rating through 73 appearances.
APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Teddy Blueger - Picks up assist Monday Blueger notched an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.
Impact Blueger snapped his four-game point drought with the secondary helper on a Keegan Kolesar tally in the first period. The 28-year-old Blueger was a healthy scratch last Thursday, though that's simply a product of the Golden Knights having more healthy players than spots in the lineup. He's up to 16 points, 80 shots on net, 68 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 60 appearances between Vegas and Pittsburgh this season.
APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Hutton - Making most of playing time Hutton notched an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.
Impact Hutton has played in three straight games, picking up a goal and three helpers over that span. The 29-year-old defenseman has often been the emergency depth option on the Golden Knights' blue line, so he's had little chance to build momentum even when he plays. For the season, he's at seven points, 47 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and 14 hits through 26 contests.
APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pavel Dorofeyev - Steps up after being scratched Dorofeyev scored two goals in Vegas' 4-3 shootout victory over Minnesota on Monday.
Impact It was a nice statement game from Dorofeyev after the Golden Knights scratched him Saturday. He even found the back of the net in the shootout, though that third marker doesn't count towards his season totals. Dorofeyev's up to seven markers and nine points in 13 outings this season.
