Jonas Rondbjerg - Recalled from AHL Rondbjerg was summoned from AHL Henderson on Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Rondbjerg has three goals and three assists in nine outings at the AHL level this season. He hasn't contributed a point in two NHL appearances this campaign but could get another chance to reach the scoresheet in Wednesday's game versus Toronto. Vegas also recalled Mason Morelli on Tuesday while moving Mark Stone (lower body) to injured reserve and Ben Hutton (upper body) to long-term injured reserve.

Ben Hutton - Lands on LTIR Hutton (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Hutton is week-to-week after suffering an upper-body injury in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Washington. He hasn't earned a point in five appearances while posting six shots on goal, five blocked shots and three hits. Following his placement on LTIR, Hutton won't be eligible to play until at least Dec. 12 against Winnipeg. Vegas called up forwards Jonas Rondbjerg and Mason Morelli in corresponding moves while adding Mark Stone (lower body) to injured reserve.

Mark Stone - Placed on injured reserve Stone (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Stone is still being classified by the team as day-to-day and has already missed more than a week of action, so he could still technically be activated ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Toronto. Still, it seems unlikely the team would place him on IR only to reactivate him Wednesday, so he should probably be considered doubtful for both ends of Vegas' back-to-back against the Leafs and Senators on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

Victor Olofsson - Assigned to AHL for conditioning Olofsson (lower body) was assigned to AHL Henderson on a conditioning loan Monday.

Impact Olofsson has been dealing with a lower-body injury for just over a month, and he was transferred to long-term injured reserve last week. However, his conditioning assignment signals that he's likely getting closer to returning to game action for the Golden Knights. Over four appearances to begin the season, Olofsson tallied three goals, a hit and a blocked shot while averaging 15:03 of ice time.

Zach Whitecloud - Steady spot in lineup Whitecloud was held off the scoresheet for the 17th straight game in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Whitecloud has been steady in a bottom-four role, but he hasn't done anything on offense since he scored Opening Night. The 27-year-old blueliner has added 28 hits, 31 blocked shots, 14 shots on net, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 appearances. Whitecloud has never earned a 20-point campaign and will face an uphill battle to approach that mark this year, so he's not much of an option in fantasy.

Tanner Pearson - Contributes assist in loss Pearson provided an assist and five hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Pearson snapped a six-game slump with his helper on Brett Howden's first-period tally. The 32-year-old Pearson will have some variance on offense while filling a bottom-six role. The winger is at three goals, five assists, 18 shots on goal, 22 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 18 outings this season. He doesn't stand out in any area and receives no power-play time, so Pearson has limited ways to contribute in fantasy.

Alex Pietrangelo - Produces assist Pietrangelo logged an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Pietrangelo has just two helpers over his last eight contests, taking the shine off a strong start to the season from October. The veteran defenseman won't put up points all the time, as he's often tasked with taking care of business in his own zone. For the season, he's at two goals, 12 helpers, 36 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 16 hits and a plus-7 rating over 18 games. Pietrangelo does enough all around to be rostered in the vast majority of formats.

Tomas Hertl - Nabs helper Sunday Hertl posted an assist, five shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Hertl set up new linemate Keegan Kolesar's second-period tally. This was Hertl's first even-strength point in six games, though he had three power-play goals over his last two outings. For the season, the 31-year-old center has thrived in a second-line role, earning seven goals, nine helpers, 36 shots on net, 28 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating across 18 appearances.

Jack Eichel - Deals helper in loss Eichel produced an assist and five shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Eichel's point streak is up to six games, a hot stretch consistint of two goals and 10 assists. The 28-year-old center helped out on Keegan Kolesar's tally in the second period. Through 18 contests this season, Eichel has been reliable and productive with five goals, 23 helpers, 53 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating. He's shooting 9.4 percent, so there's still a little room for growth in his offense if he can be a little more efficient on his own shots.

Keegan Kolesar - Tallies in loss Kolesar scored a goal, levied three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Kolesar was on a new-look second line with Tomas Hertl and Nicolas Roy for this contest. The Golden Knights have had to tinker with their forward group amid Mark Stone's (lower body) ongoing absence. Kolesar snapped a five-game point drought with the tally and now has five goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 55 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 18 appearances this season. He's likely not suited to a top-six role in the long run, but he'll always add physicality regardless of his spot in the lineup.

Brett Howden - Scores in Sunday's loss Howden scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact A lively bounce off the boards came right to Howden, who got the Golden Knights on the board at 19:52 of the first period. The tally snapped his five-game point drought, a stretch that has seen him slip back into a third-line role. The 26-year-old forward is up to seven goals, one assist, 35 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-3 rating over 18 contests this season. His physical play could earn him attention in deeper fantasy formats that reward such production.

Ilya Samsonov - Slips up against former team Samsonov stopped 20 of 24 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Samsonov got his first start since Oct. 30, having missed five games due to an undisclosed injury before returning in a backup role Friday at Utah. There was a little rust for Samsonov, who took his second straight loss despite the Golden Knights driving play toward the Capitals' end. He's now 3-2-1 with a 3.15 GAA and an .897 save percentage over six starts. He likely won't have to wait long for his next start, as the Golden Knights open a road trip with a back-to-back at Toronto on Wednesday and at Ottawa on Thursday.
