Tough-luck loss despite strong playGrubauer made 31 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to Las Vegas on Saturday.

ImpactHe played a strong game -- the Knights outshot the Avs in every period. Grubauer was the difference, but then got the raw end in overtime. Max Pacioretty fired a pass to Alex Tuch, but it deflected off defender Devon Toews' stick and hit the right post. When Toews tried to fire the puck out of Grubauer's crease, his stick broke and Pacioretty poked the puck in the net. The netminder has been an outstanding fantasy play this month. Grubauer hasn't lost in regulation since March 8 and is 8-0-1 in his last nine appearances.

ImpactDahlstrom was called up to the taxi squad to meet personnel requirements when Dylan Coghlan was activated for Saturday's game versus the Avalanche. The Golden Knights wasted no time after the game returning both players to their previous organizational levels. Dahlstrom is a long-shot to see playing time in the NHL this year.

ImpactCoghlan notched an assist on Max Pacioretty's game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche. After the game, the 23-year-old Coghlan returned to the taxi squad. He'll likely continue to be a depth option on defense, competing with Nick Holden for playing time.
