Golden Knights' Olympics break: Rest for some, grind for others

The Winter Olympics break could be a mixed blessing for the Vegas Golden Knights

21 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Won't play anytime soon Sissons (upper body) will not suit up against the Flyers on Monday, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Impact Sissons will miss his third straight game Monday. General manager Kelly McCrimmon said that several players, including Sissons, are not expected to play until after the Olympic break, SinBin.vegas reports. Sissons has accounted for three goals, six points, 61 hits and a minus-7 rating across 41 appearances in 2025-26.

Missing time with injury Sissons isn't playing Saturday versus the Predators because of an upper-body injury, Hannah Kirkell of Vegas Hockey Now reports.

Impact Sissons also missed Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs, presumably for the same reason. He is considered day-to-day, but it's unlikely Vegas will provide any official update on his status until he's ready to return.

Tickles twine in shootout loss Sissons scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Sissons has scored in consecutive games for the first time this season. It's a small stretch of success, but getting Sissons and the rest of the bottom six going would be valuable for the Golden Knights entering the second half of the season. The 32-year-old is at three goals, five points, 32 shots on net, 46 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 32 appearances.

Tallies in blowout win Sissons scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Sissons had gone seven games without a point, and he missed two contests due to an illness in that span. The 32-year-old has struggled to make much of an impact on offense from the fourth line this year, and the Golden Knights have shown little willingness to move him up in the lineup. He's at two goals, four points, 30 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-6 rating over 31 appearances. He's still valued for his defensive work, but he is unlikely to be a factor in most fantasy formats.

Good to go Tuesday Sissons (illness) will return to the lineup against the Islanders on Tuesday, per SinBin Vegas.

Impact Sissons will return to action after missing the last two games. He has contributed one goal, two assists, 21 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 28 hits through 24 appearances this season. Brandon Saad will be a healthy scratch to make room for the return of Sissons.

Unavailable in Manhattan Sissons (illness) won't play in Sunday's road game versus the Rangers, Golden Knights broadcaster Dan D'Uva reports.

Impact Sissons was on the ice for pregame warmups, but he won't be in the lineup Sunday. He was also unavailable for Friday's game in New Jersey due to his illness. Since he was seemingly close to being in the lineup against the Rangers, he might be an option to play when Vegas continues its road trip Tuesday on Long Island.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Sissons missed Friday's game versus the Devils due to an illness, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Sissons was a late scratch, and it's because of a bug that's going around the Vegas locker room. With the team on a five-game road trip, more surprise absences could pop up. Sissons can be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Rangers.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Friday Sissons (undisclosed) won't play Friday versus the Devils, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact No reason was immediately provided regarding Sissons' absence. The 32-year-old's next chance to play is Sunday versus the Rangers. Reilly Smith will fill in for Sissons on Friday.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in Saturday's win Sissons scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact This was Sissons' first goal and third point as a Golden Knight. The 32-year-old hasn't been able to see much more than a fourth-line role, though his penalty-killing skills keep him in the lineup. For the season, he's supplied 21 shots on net, 28 hits, 11 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 23 appearances. Barring an uptick in offense, he's best left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Ends drought with assist Sissons logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Sissons had gone 11 games without a point, and he also missed two contests due to an undisclosed injury in that span. With the Golden Knights' forward group getting a little thinned out by injuries, Sissons has been over 11 minutes of ice time in four straight contests. This season, he's produced two helpers, 14 shots on net, 22 hits, 15 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 17 appearances.

Ready to rock Sissons (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Red Wings, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Sissons will return to a fourth-line role after a two-game absence. He has one assist through nine appearances this season while averaging 11:06 of ice time.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable for Friday Sissons won't play Friday versus Colorado, per Hannah Kirkell of Vegas Hockey Now on Thursday.

Impact Sissons has one assist, 13 PIM and 11 hits in nine outings this year. He's still regarded as day-to-day, so Sissons might be an option for Tuesday's tilt against Detroit. Sissons will probably serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's healthy.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Sissons (undisclosed) isn't expected to play against Carolina on Tuesday, according to NHL.com.

Impact Sissons will miss at least one game after being injured in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to Tampa Bay. He has picked up one assist, four shots on goal, five blocked shots and 11 hits across nine appearances this season. Cole Reinhardt will replace Sissons in Tuesday's lineup.

OCTOBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Injured against Bolts Sissons left Sunday's matchup with the Lightning in the second period with an undisclosed injury, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Looking ahead to Tuesday's matchup with the Hurricanes, Sissons should probably be considered questionable at best. The 31-year-old winger is still looking for his first goal of the 2025-26 campaign, having managed just one helper and four shots in his first nine contests. Cole Reinhardt figures to step into the lineup if Sissons is unable to play.

OCTOBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First point with new team Sissons recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Bruins.

Impact The helper was Sissons' first point in five games with the Golden Knights. He's added six PIM, five hits, four blocked shots and three shots on net as a defensive center on the fourth line. The 31-year-old has reached the 30-point mark on three occasions in his career, including two of the last three years, but he's averaging just 11:16 of ice time per game to start with Vegas, down by more than three minutes from his 14:22 average in 2024-25.
