Zach Whitecloud - NHL News & Rumors

Offers helper in win Whitecloud notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Whitecloud continues to chip in more offense than usual -- he has five points over his last nine games. The 28-year-old's latest contribution was a primary helper on Keegan Kolesar's go-ahead goal in the third period of Sunday's win. Whitecloud is up to seven points, 39 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 52 hits and a plus-5 rating through 36 appearances in a third-pairing role.

Finds twine in win Whitecloud scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Whitecloud has been unusually productive lately with two goals and two assists over his last six games, going plus-5 in that span. The 28-year-old's role hasn't changed -- he's still on the third pairing with no power-play time -- so it doesn't seem likely he'll be able to keep up this recent pace. The blueliner has three goals, three assists, 34 shots on net, 49 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 33 appearances this season.

Adds helper in win Whitecloud managed an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact Whitecloud has earned three points over five contests. That's a decent stretch for the third-pairing defenseman, but it's unlikely to last. He has five points, 32 shots on net, 49 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 32 appearances this season. Whitecloud is unlikely to be pressured for playing time by Kaedan Korczak, as the Golden Knights rarely make changes on the blue line when their preferred six defensemen are healthy.

Pockets first since opening night Whitecloud scored a goal on one shot in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens. He added one block and one hit.

Impact Whitecloud was an unlikely source to give the Golden Knights an early lead. He buried a feed from Tomas Hertl for his second goal of the season and first since opening night. The third-pair defenseman has four points through 30 outings.

Chips in with helper Whitecloud notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact The helper was Whitecloud's first in seven games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old has resumed his usual role on the third pairing, a spot that hasn't yielded much offense in 2024-25. He has three points, 28 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 43 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 28 appearances this season. Given his limited scoring, Whitecloud doesn't need to be considered in most fantasy formats.

Set to play Thursday Whitecloud (upper body) is expected back in the lineup versus Winnipeg on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Whitecloud has been sidelined since Nov. 23 versus the Canadiens, a stretch of seven games on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Considering he has just two points in 21 games this season, few fantasy players will be significantly impacted by his return to the lineup. Kaedan Korczak will likely be relegated to a spot in the press box with Whitecloud back in action.

DECEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play during trip Whitecloud (upper body) is expected to suit up at some point during the Knights' three-game road trip, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Monday.

Impact Head coach Bruce Cassidy didn't specify which game might work for Whitecloud's return to action, only indicating that it is expected at some point during the trip. Prior to his seven-game absence due to his upper-body problem, the 28-year-old blueliner was struggling to produce in the offensive end with just one point in his last 20 outings. Once cleared to play, Whitecloud figures to supplant Kaedan Korczak for a spot on the blue line.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Friday Whitecloud (upper body) didn't take contact during Friday's morning skate, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, so he's not expected to play at home against Dallas.

Impact Whitecloud also missed Vegas' past six games. He has a goal, two points, 33 hits and 40 blocks in 21 outings in 2024-25. He will likely serve on the third pairing once he's ready to return.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Oilers Whitecloud (upper body) will not be in action versus Edmonton on Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Whitecloud will be sidelined for his fifth consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body problem. Vegas isn't particularly forthcoming when it comes to injuries, but the fact that the blueliner still isn't practicing should be an indication he'll also miss out versus the Ducks on Wednesday. If the Knights need a roster spot, they could put Whitecloud on injured reserve without impacting his return day since he's already been sidelined for over a week.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Saturday Whitecloud (upper body) will miss Saturday's tilt against Utah, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Impact Whitecloud is set to miss his fourth straight game. He has a goal and an assist in 21 outings in 2024-25. His next chance to play will come Tuesday versus Edmonton.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Friday Whitecloud (upper body) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Jets, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

Impact Whitecloud will miss his third straight game, and it's unlikely he'll be ready for the second half of a back-to-back Saturday when the Golden Knights host Utah. The 28-year-old defenseman's status has not been updated since he exited last Saturday's game versus the Canadiens.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Wednesday Whitecloud (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Avalanche, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact Whitecloud is set to miss his second consecutive game after he got hurt in Montreal on Saturday. Kaedan Korczak remains in the lineup with Whitecloud unavailable. It's unclear if Whitecloud will be ready to return during a back-to-back with games Friday versus the Jets and Saturday against Utah.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Monday Whitecloud is unavailable for Monday's game against Philadelphia due to an upper-body injury, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Impact Whitecloud has a goal, two points, 33 hits and 40 blocks in 21 appearances with Vegas in 2024-25. Robert Hagg, who was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday, is projected to draw into the lineup due to Whitecloud's absence. The 27-year-old Whitecloud is day-to-day, so he might still be able to return for Wednesday's tilt in Colorado.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits late in contest Whitecloud (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Canadiens in the third period and didn't return, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact There was no additional information regarding Whitecloud's injury after the contest. The defenseman had one assist, three hits and two blocked shots prior to the injury. Vegas is also missing Alex Pietrangelo (upper body), whose status is unknown for the team's road trip, and Ben Hutton (upper body), who is on long-term injured reserve until at least mid-December. If Whitecloud's injury is serious, the Golden Knights will need to recall a defenseman prior to Monday's game versus the Flyers.

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.
