Lands two-way agreement Lavoie signed a one-year, two-way contract with Vegas on Sunday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Lavoie notched 17 goals and 27 points in 42 regular-season appearances for AHL Henderson last campaign. He didn't earn a point in nine NHL games with Vegas during the 2024-25 regular season while posting 10 shots on goal and 16 hits. Lavoie will probably play most of 2025-26 in the minors, but he will compete for a depth role with the Golden Knights at training camp.

Returns to minors Lavoie (upper body) was taken off injured reserve and reassigned to AHL Henderson, per the NHL media site.

Lands on IR Lavoie (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Lavoie was injured in Wednesday's game versus Toronto and was unavailable Friday against Vegas. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said Thursday that Lavoie is day-to-day, so it's currently unclear if the forward is facing an extended absence. He has not recorded a point over nine outings in 2024-25.

MARCH 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable versus Pens Lavoie (upper body) is considered day-to-day but won't be ready to face Pittsburgh on Thursday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lavoie has seen limited action at the NHL level this season, appearing in just nine games for the Knights. In fact, in his 16 career NHL contests, the 24-year-old center has yet to register a point. If Cole Schwindt (lower body) is ready to play Friday, he figures to take the fourth-line spot being vacated by Lavoie.

MARCH 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hurt in Wednesday's game Lavoie (upper body) will not return to Wednesday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

Impact Lavoie left the bench in the second period and did not come back out for the third. He had two hits in 5:48 of ice time. If Lavoie is unavailable Friday versus the Penguins, the Golden Knights may call up a forward, unless they make a trade for a forward prior to Friday's trade deadline.

Summoned from AHL Lavoie was recalled from AHL Henderson on Saturday, per SinBin Vegas.

Impact Vegas returned Alexander Holtz to the minors in a corresponding move. Lavoie hasn't earned a point in three NHL outings this season while posting four shots on goal and seven hits. He will skate on the second line in Saturday's game against Boston.

Unavailable Thursday Lavoie (illness) will miss Thursday's tilt against New Jersey, per Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas.

Impact It will be Lavoie's second straight game on the shelf. He has no points, four shots and seven hits in three appearances with Vegas in 2024-25. When Lavoie's healthy, he might serve on the fourth line.

Sitting out due to illness Lavoie (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Islanders, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lavoie has not recorded a point but has four shots on net and seven hits over three NHL appearances this season. The Golden Knights are also missing Tanner Pearson (undisclosed) for this contest, forcing the team to go with seven defensemen -- Kaedan Korczak will check into the lineup.

FEBRUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Brought up from minors Lavoie was recalled from AHL Henderson on Tuesday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Impact Lavoie did not record a point over seven appearances with Edmonton in 2023-24. The Golden Knights now have 15 forwards on their roster, so it's unclear if Lavoie will see any game action while he's with the big club.

Heading to minors Lavoie was assigned to AHL Henderson on Friday since the Golden Knights were the only team to submit a waiver claim for him, per PuckPedia reports.

Impact Lavoie has racked up the frequent flyer miles over the past week, as he was shuffled between Edmonton and Vegas via waivers. He was claimed off waivers by the Oilers on Wednesday, but he wasn't able to be sent to the minors since another team put in a claim for him. However, the Golden Knights were the lone team to put in a claim for him Friday after Edmonton waived him Thursday, so he'll now prepare to suit up for Henderson.

Waiver cycle continues Lavoie was claimed off waivers by Vegas from Edmonton on Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Lavoie was also taken off waivers by the Golden Knights from the Oilers on Monday. Vegas then tried to send him to the minors by waiving him Tuesday, but Edmonton reclaimed him Wesnesday. Typically when a player heads back to his original team via waivers, that franchise can then simply send him to the minors, but that couldn't happen in Lavoie's case because a third team put in a claim. Edmonton consequently put Lavoie on waivers yet again Thursday. If Vegas was the only team to claim Lavoie this time, then he can be reassigned to the AHL, but if that third team put in a claim again, then Vegas will be back in the position of either keeping him in the NHL or placing him on waivers.

Put on waivers...again Lavoie was put on waivers by Edmonton on Thursday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

Impact Let us tell the tale of Lavoie. The saga began Sunday when the Oilers waive him with the dream of reassigning him to AHL Bakersfield, but that fantasy was snatched by Vegas, which claimed him. The Golden Knights evidentially had similar aspirations for Lavoie and consequently waived him Tuesday. Edmonton, not satisfied to let Vegas succeed where it had failed, reclaimed Lavoie on Wednesday. Typically, such a move would have allowed the team doing the reclaiming -- Edmonton in this case -- to send the player to the minors, bringing an end to the cycle, but this is no ordinary story, for you see, a mysterious third team also attempted to claim Lavoie on Wednesday, so while Edmonton got him back, he had to remain in the NHL. Thus, Lavoie is once more on waivers, and only time will tell if he clears and heads to the minors or if there is another chapter to come.

Still in NHL Although Edmonton successfully claimed Lavoie off waivers from Vegas on Wednesday, another team put in a claim for him, according to PuckPedia. Consequently, the Oilers can't reas...

Impact Lavoie was originally with Edmonton before Vegas claimed him off waivers Monday. Because the Oilers were reclaiming their former player, had they been the only team to put a claim on him this time, he could have been simply assigned to the minors without going through waivers again, but another team putting in a claim means he has to stay on the NHL roster for now. Edmonton does have the option to put Lavoie on waivers yet again, and he can be sent to the minors should he clear that time. The 24-year-old had 28 goals, 50 points and 64 PIM in 66 regular-season appearances with Bakersfield in 2023-24.

Headed for Sin City Lavoie was picked up off waivers by Vegas from Edmonton on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Lavoie has just seven games of NHL experience, all of which came last season. In those outings, the 24-year-old center notched four shots, 13 hits and two PIM while failing to get onto the scoresheet. Even with the move to Vegas, Lavoie is far from a lock for the lineup on a nightly basis and will have to compete with the likes of Keegan Kolesar and Victor Olofsson for minutes.
