Nicolas Hague - Assists in consecutive outings Hague produced an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Hague has helpers in consecutive games and four assists over his last 10 outings. The 25-year-old blueliner continues to see bottom-four usage with no power-play time, but playing with the Golden Knights has helped him put up respectable offense. For the year, he's at seven points, 35 shots on net, 27 hits, 40 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 25 appearances.

Brayden McNabb - Picks up another helper McNabb logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact McNabb has gotten on the scoresheet in five of the last seven games, producing a goal and four assists in that span. Aside from the second half of November, the 32-year-old blueliner has been fairly productive this season. He's up to 13 points, 32 shots on net, 41 hits, 98 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 33 contests. McNabb's career high in points is 24 from the 2014-15 season, and he's on track to best it.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Amadio - Notches assist in loss Amadio recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Amadio had gone four contests without a point after missing a game for personal reasons. The 27-year-old snapped the drought by helping out on William Carrier's second goal of the game late in the third period. That slump was the longest of the season for Amadio, who's been fine in a middle-six role for much of the season. He's at 16 points, 50 shots on net and a plus-10 rating while averaging 12:42 of ice time per game through 32 appearances.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Stone - Adds helper in loss Stone registered an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Stone helped out on a Jack Eichel tally late in the blowout loss. With four goals and nine assists over nine outings in December, Stone has gotten his offense back up to where fantasy managers would expect it to be. The star winger has 33 points in as many games this season while adding 65 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-2 rating in a top-six role.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brett Howden - Dishes two assists Howden logged a pair of assists and two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Howden has three helpers over his last two games. He's seen time anywhere from the second through fourth lines, though it rarely amounts to much more than 14-15 minutes per game. The 25-year-old is at 10 points, 32 shots on net, 30 hits, 25 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 31 outings overall. He may continue to serve as the fourth-line center as long as Keegan Kolesar (undisclosed) is out.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Eichel - Gets goal in loss Eichel scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Eichel tallied late in the third period, which sufficed only to keep his point streak alive at 11 games. During that span, he has seven tallies and 10 assists. For the season, the superstar has 15 goals, 22 helpers, 139 shots on goal, 29 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 33 appearances. He's been excellent for season-long fantasy managers, and he's worth the investment in DFS when the Golden Knights have a favorable matchup.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nolan Patrick - Announces retirement Patrick has ended his playing career, Dylan H. Robillard of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.

Impact Patrick was selected by the Flyers with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, but unfortunately, concussion issues plagued him throughout his short career. He had 32 goals and 77 points in 222 contests over four seasons with Philadelphia and Vegas. Patrick also appeared in six playoff contests with the Flyers, contributing a goal and an assist.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

William Carrier - Lights lamp twice in loss Carrier scored two goals in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact He tickled the twine in the first and third periods, but Carolina scored five unanswered goals in between. Carrier snapped a 20-game goal drought with the performance, and the 29-year-old checking-line winger isn't likely to repeat it any time soon -- he has just five goals and seven points in 30 contests on the season.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jiri Patera - Perfect in relief Tuesday Patera turned aside all 10 shots he faced after replacing Logan Thompson early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Making just his second NHL appearance of the season, Patera was sharp and gave Vegas a chance to at least make the final score respectable. With Adin Hill (undisclosed) potentially still unavailable, Patera could be in line to get the start and give Thompson a breather Thursday in Tampa Bay.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logan Thompson - Lifted in Tuesday's loss Thompson stopped 22 of 28 shots before being replaced by Jiri Patera early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Three of the goals against Thompson came on Carolina power plays, and the last puck to get past him came after a giveaway in the Vegas zone gave Brady Skjei a clean look from the faceoff dot. It's been an up and down December for Thompson, and while the netminder has given up at least four goals in three of his last four outings, he also sports a 5-2-1 record in eight starts. Given his heavy recent workload while Adin Hill has battled through a lower-body injury and now an undisclosed issue that may or may not be related, it wouldn't be surprising to see Thompson give way to Patera in the crease for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay.

Keegan Kolesar - Ruled out versus Canes Kolesar is dealing with an undisclosed injury and won't be available against Vancouver on Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Kolesar is pointless in his last five games while registering a meager two shots, though the winger did dish out 16 hits. Given his lack of offensive upside, few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his absence. Pavel Dorofeyev is set to slot into the lineup with Kolesar out of action.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logan Thompson - Starting against Hurricanes Thompson will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road clash with Carolina, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Adin Hill (undisclosed) is not expected to join the team on the road prior to the Christmas break, so Jiri Patera will serve as Thompson's backup. Thompson has posted a 10-4-3 record this season with a 2.48 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 18 appearances. Carolina ranks 14th in the league this campaign with 3.19 goals per game.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adin Hill - Not traveling with team Hill (undisclosed) is not expected to join the Knights for their three-game road trip, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports Tuesday.

Impact Hill returned from a lower-body injury against the Senators on Sunday, only to be forced off in the first period with an undisclosed problem. The team still hasn't provided any update on whether this latest problem is related to his lower-body issue. With Hill out again, Logan Thompson should see the bulk of the workload for the time being.

Kaedan Korczak - Placed on IR Korczak (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun.

Impact Korczak, who has already missed the past three games, can be activated whenever he is ready to return. Still, he probably shouldn't be expected to play before the Christmas break. Vegas got Alec Martinez back in the lineup Sunday against Ottawa, and Brayden Pachal will serve as an extra defender during the team's upcoming three-game road trip.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Rondbjerg - Summoned from AHL Rondbjerg was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday.

Impact Rondbjerg has three goals and 11 points in 16 minor-league contests this season. He also has one goal, two assists and nine shots on net in six NHL outings during the 2023-24 campaign. Rondbjerg is slated to occupy the Golden Knights on the team's upcoming three-game road trip.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jiri Patera - Back in NHL Patera was summoned from AHL Henderson on Monday.

Impact Patera's return to the big club doesn't bode well for Adin Hill (undisclosed), who was injured in his return to the lineup Sunday against Ottawa. Petera made 35 saves in a 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks on Dec. 10 during his NHL season debut. If Hill isn't able to suit up for Tuesday's matchup against Carolina, Patera will probably serve as Logan Thompson's backup.

Nicolas Hague - Puts up helper Hague notched an assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Hague has three helpers over his last nine games. The 25-year-old defenseman isn't one to put up large point totals while playing in a third-pairing role, though he's also exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in each of the last three games. For the year, Hague has six points, 35 shots, 40 blocks, 26 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 24 outings. His non-scoring production could make him an option for fantasy managers in deeper formats.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brayden McNabb - Offers assist Sunday McNabb recorded an assist and three hits in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Impact McNabb has four points and a minus-1 rating over his last six contests. He also earned multiple hits Sunday for the first time in four games. The 32-year-old blueliner will have some of his defensive load eased now that Alec Martinez (lower body) is back in the lineup. Through 32 games this season, McNabb has been a pleasant surprise with 12 points, 40 hits, 97 blocked shots, 32 shots on net and a plus-9 rating while playing in a top-four role.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brett Howden - Posts assist Sunday Howden logged an assist in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Howden set up Jonathan Marchessault's game-tying goal in the first period. It's been a fairly quiet stretch for Howden, who has three points over his last nine outings. The 25-year-old is a middle-six forward at best, but he's never one to be a leading scorer. He's managed eight points, 31 shots on net, 25 PIM, 28 hits and a minus-1 rating over 30 contests this season.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Hutton - Earns pair of assists Hutton logged two assists, two blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Hutton helped out on a Jack Eichel goal in the first period as well as Nicolas Roy's power-play marker in the second. This was Hutton's first multi-point effort of the season, and he's racked up four helpers over eight games in December. The 30-year-old remained in the lineup with Alec Martinez returning from a lower-body injury, but Hutton could get shuffled out when Kaedan Korczak (lower body) is healthy. Hutton has six points, 41 shots on net, 33 blocks and a plus-4 rating over 26 appearances.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Stone - Distributes three assists in win Stone notched three assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Stone showcased his all-situations value in assisting on three straight goals -- one shorthanded, one at even strength and one on the power play. This was his third multi-point effort over the last five games, and he's racked up 14 points across his last 10 outings. Stone has put together an excellent campaign as well with 10 goals, 22 assists, 12 power-play points, three shorthanded points, 65 shots and a minus-1 rating through 32 appearances.
