Colton Sissons - 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.

William Karlsson - Moves to LTIR Karlsson (lower body) was transferred from regular injured reserve to long-term injured reserve on Friday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Karlsson has already missed the required amount of time, so he'll be eligible for activation whenever ready. The 32-year-old center was deemed week-to-week in mid-November and there's been no update on his status since. This move will free up some cap space for the Golden Knights.

Carter Hart - Not available Friday Hart (lower body) won't suit up Friday versus the Devils and is considered day-to-day, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Akira Schmid - Facing former team Schmid will protect the road goal versus the Devils on Friday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com

Impact Schmid hasn't played the last two games for the Golden Knights after going 0-1-2 with 10 goals allowed over his previous three outings. He'll get his first start against the team that drafted him in 2018, the Devils, who enter Friday's contest on a three-game losing streak.

Jesper Vikman - Called up from minors Vikman was recalled from AHL Henderson on Friday.

Impact Vikman's elevation to the NHL roster would seem to indicate that Akira Schmid or Carter Hart will not be available to face the Devils on Friday, though perhaps the team is just adding another goalie for its five-game East Coast road trip. Even with Vikman's promotion, he's far from guaranteed to see any minutes, considering there are no back-to-backs on this trip.
