Brandon Saad - NHL News & Rumors

Tallies in return Saad scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Kings.

Impact Saad gave the Golden Knights a 3-2 lead in the middle of the third period. He had missed the previous 15 games due to an undisclosed injury. The 33-year-old may not be a lock for the lineup going forward, as he's had a tough season so far with just three goals, five assists, 66 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 40 appearances. When he does play, Saad looks set to be a bottom-six option, which won't help his fantasy value.

Slated to return after Olympics General manager Kelly McCrimmon noted Monday that Saad (undisclosed) isn't expected to suit up prior to the Olympic break, according to SinBin.vegas.

Placed on IR Saad (undisclosed) was designated for injured reserve Thursday, Sin Bin Vegas reports.

Impact Saad was already expected to be sidelined versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday, so this update doesn't significantly impact his return timeline, considering he has already been out of action for a week. The veteran forward has just one goal and 22 assists in his last 22 outings, so his continued absence is unlikely to have a significant impact on most fantasy managers.

Still sidelined Wednesday Saad (undisclosed) will not be an option versus the Kings on Wednesday, per Sin Bin Vegas.

Impact Saad will miss his third straight game due to his lingering undisclosed injury. If the team decides it needs the extra roster spots, the veteran would be a good candidate for injured reserve, considering he has already missed a week's worth of games. Saad has scored just once in his last 22 outings while chipping in two assists and 38 shots. With the back-to-back on the schedule, it seems unlikely Saad will be cleared in time to face the Leafs on Thursday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out.

Suffers undisclosed injury Saad (undisclosed) is expected to miss Vegas' games Saturday and Sunday against St. Louis and San Jose, respectively, per SinBin Vegas.

Impact Saad has two goals and seven points in 39 appearances in 2025-26. Cole Reinhardt might draw into the lineup Saturday due to Saad's absence. The 33-year-old Saad is listed as day-to-day, so he might still be an option Wednesday versus Los Angeles.

Finds twine Sunday Saad scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Saad has just two goals this season, and they've both come against teams he's previously played for (the Blackhawks on Sunday and the Blues on Nov. 15). Other that that, the 33-year-old winger has done little with a bottom-six role and minimal power-play usage. He's at a mere six points with 62 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 37 appearances.

Pockets assist in win Saad notched an assist in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Saad was one of 13 Vegas skaters to get on the scoresheet. The helper ended a 14-game point drought for the winger, who was also scratched three times in that span. He took the spot of Cole Reinhardt for this contest, but Saad is far from a lock to play every game moving forward. With just five points, 51 shots on net, 14 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 32 appearances this season, Saad's struggled and is unlikely to work his way out of a bottom-six spot.

Scores against former team Saad scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Saad's first goal of the season came against his former team. He's picking up the pace in November with three points over six outings this month. The 33-year-old winger has a goal, three assists, 26 shots on net and a plus-4 rating across 17 appearances. He's mainly played on the third line, so there's not much reason to think his offense will dramatically improve throughout the year.
