Puts up assist in loss Whitecloud logged a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild in Game 3.

Impact This was Whitecloud's second helper in his last five games. The 28-year-old defenseman has four shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over three playoff contests. He produced 13 points, 72 shots on net, 117 hits, 103 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating in 74 regular-season outings, so he's likely to be more of a physical player than a scorer during the playoffs.

On ice for practice Friday Whitecloud (rest) participated in Friday's practice session, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll be available for Sunday's Game 1 against the Wild.

Impact Whitecloud sat out Wednesday's regular-season finale against Vancouver due to rest purposes, but he'll unsurprisingly be back in action for the start of the playoffs. He recorded four goals, nine assists, 129 hits, 105 blocked shots and 32 PIM while averaging 17:31 of ice time over 74 appearances during the regular season.

Out of action for finale Whitecloud (rest) won't play Wednesday versus the Canucks, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

Impact Whitecloud doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury. He'll get a game off to end the regular season after posting 13 hits, 72 shots on net, 117 hits and 103 blocked shots over 74 appearances. Whitecloud will likely be on the third pairing for most of the postseason, likely at the expense of Kaedan Korczak's playing time.

Contributes rare helper Whitecloud logged an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Whitecloud set up Noah Hanifin's game-winning goal with 1:55 left in the third period. As long as Alex Pietrangelo (undisclosed) and Nicolas Hague (illness) are out, Whitecloud will see a larger role on defense. That won't necessarily lead to more offense -- his assist Saturday ended a nine-game point drought. The 28-year-old is at 13 points, 72 shots on net, 115 hits, 102 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating across 73 appearances.

Offers helper in win Whitecloud notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Whitecloud has three helpers and a plus-8 rating over 14 contests since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. He's been tasked with a larger defensive role in that stretch to help cover the absence of Shea Theodore (arm). Whitecloud is up to 12 points, 63 shots on net, 95 hits, 87 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-7 rating through a career-high 63 games this season. He's on pace to finish right around his 14-point total from the 2023-24 regular season, though it took him just 61 outings to accumulate that production last year.

Contributes assist Whitecloud posted an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.

Impact Whitecloud followed up his three-game point streak in February with a four-game slump. That dry spell ended Friday when he assisted on Tanner Pearson's opening tally. Whitecloud is now at 11 points, 55 shots on net, 83 hits, 77 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 55 appearances. He's on pace for a career high in games played, but he'll likely fall short of the career-best 19 points he had in 2021-22.

Snags helper Saturday Whitecloud registered an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Whitecloud has a chance to carve out a larger role while Shea Theodore (arm) is out of action. That didn't fully come to fruition Saturday -- Whitecloud's 16:47 of ice time versus the Canucks is only minimally higher than his 16:22 per game this season. The blueliner is at 10 points, 52 shots on net, 69 hits, 70 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 50 appearances, and he's earned a point in three straight games (one goal, two assists).

Finds twine Saturday Whitecloud tallied a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Bruins.

Impact Whitecloud put away the only goal of the second period for Vegas off a feed from his new linemate Noah Hanifin. The 28-year-old blueliner has four goals, five assists, 51 shots on net and 69 blocks across 49 appearances this season. Whitecloud has points in back-to-back games for the second time this season and is contributing offensively in his new pairing with Hanifin. While his fantasy ceiling is capped in a bottom-four role defensively, the blueliner can benefit from Vegas' strong quality of play this season.

Gets on scoresheet with assist Whitecloud produced an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Devils.

Impact Whitecloud snapped an 11-game point drought when he helped out on Jack Eichel's third-period tally. A couple of slumps from blueliners have caused the Golden Knights to shuffle their pairings -- Whitecloud and Noah Hanifin were both able to ends droughts in this contest while playing together on the third pairing. Whitecloud has minimal scoring upside with eight points, 50 shots on net, 67 hits, 67 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 48 appearances this season.

Offers helper in win Whitecloud notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Whitecloud continues to chip in more offense than usual -- he has five points over his last nine games. The 28-year-old's latest contribution was a primary helper on Keegan Kolesar's go-ahead goal in the third period of Sunday's win. Whitecloud is up to seven points, 39 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 52 hits and a plus-5 rating through 36 appearances in a third-pairing role.

Finds twine in win Whitecloud scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Whitecloud has been unusually productive lately with two goals and two assists over his last six games, going plus-5 in that span. The 28-year-old's role hasn't changed -- he's still on the third pairing with no power-play time -- so it doesn't seem likely he'll be able to keep up this recent pace. The blueliner has three goals, three assists, 34 shots on net, 49 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 33 appearances this season.
