Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Manages assist Tuesday
Theodore provided an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Theodore has six helpers and a plus-4 rating over seven contests in January. The 29-year-old defenseman is in a 13-game goal drought, but he's hardly been quiet on offense while continuing to fill a top-four role with power-play duties. He's up to 36 points (14 on the power play), 81 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 43 appearances. Theodore has reached the 50-point mark just once in his career, largely due to lengthy injury absences or abbreviated seasons, but he could breeze by that mark if he stays healthy in 2024-25.

Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Garners power-play assist in loss
Stone notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Stone remains hot on offense with four goals and five helpers over seven outings in January. He has earned four power-play points over his last three contests as well.

Golden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Dishes pair of assists
Olofsson logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Olofsson set up the first and third goals of Pavel Dorofeyev's natural hat trick. Their line with Tomas Hertl combined for seven points in the loss, and just two other Vegas skaters got on the scoresheet. This was Olofsson's first multi-point effort since Dec. 27 versus the Sharks. The 29-year-old winger has nine goals, seven assists, 53 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 23 appearances this season. With the Golden Knights' forward group now at full health, Olofsson is likely to be confined to the third line and second power-play unit until further injury issues arise.

Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl: Contributes pair of helpers
Hertl recorded two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Hertl helped out on the first two goals of Pavel Dorofeyev's natural hat trick, one of which was on the power play. This was Hertl's second multi-point effort in a row, and he has two goals and four assists over seven outings in January. For the season, the 31-year-old center has provided 31 points (14 on the power play), 102 shots on net, 57 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 44 appearances in a middle-six role.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Natural hat trick goes to waste
Dorofeyev scored three goals, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Dorofeyev was a one-man rally in this contest, but even a natural hat trick was too little to overcome what was once a 4-0 deficit. The winger has logged back-to-back three-point games following a stretch of 18 contests in which he was limited to a total of two goals and two assists. The 24-year-old now has career highs in goals (19) and points (27) while adding 130 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 44 appearances this season.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Takes second consecutive loss
Samsonov allowed four goals on 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Samsonov has followed up a six-game winning streak by losing his last two starts. This was his ugliest outing recently -- he had given up no more than two goals in any of his last seven starts after surrendering six tallies in a Nov. 30 loss to Utah. Samsonov dropped to 11-5-1 with a 2.70 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 17 starts this season. The Golden Knights' next two games are in a back-to-back, and based on the recent workload distribution, it's likely to be Adin Hill in goal Friday versus the Hurricanes, while Samsonov lines up to face the Blackhawks on Saturday to conclude Vegas' three-game road trip.

Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Set to return
Eichel (illness) is expected to play Tuesday versus the Predators, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
It looks like Eichel's absence will be limited to one game after he sat out Sunday against the Wild. The 28-year-old should resume his top-line role and retake his spot on the first power-play unit. Cole Schwindt is expected to exit the lineup.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Starting against Predators
Samsonov will defend the road net versus Nashville on Tuesday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Samsonov is coming off a 24-save effort in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers. He has posted a record of 11-4-1 with one shutout, a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Nashville sits 32nd in the league with 2.40 goals per game in 2024-25.

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

Golden Knights' Nicolas Roy: Secures assist in return
Roy notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Roy returned Sunday after missing 11 games due to an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old took a spot on the third line and played 17:03 in Sunday's win, which could mean reduced roles for players like Tomas Hertl, Brett Howden and Tanner Pearson once Jack Eichel (illness) gets back in the lineup. Roy is up to 14 points, 52 shots on net, 26 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 32 appearances. He's a versatile player who features in all situations, so Roy will often see more ice time than his place in the lineup would suggest.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Two more helpers in win
Theodore notched a pair of assists and four shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Theodore reached the 30-assist mark on the first of Pavel Dorofeyev's two tallies in the contest. The 29-year-old Theodore also helped out on a Tomas Hertl goal in the third period. While he hasn't scored in 12 games, Theodore has remained productive with nine helpers in that span. He's up to 35 points (14 on the power play), 80 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 42 appearances.

Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Two power-play helpers in win
Stone recorded a pair of power-play assists in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Stone set up both of Pavel Dorofeyev's tallies in the contest. Even with Jack Eichel (illness) unavailable, Stone still put together a good performance, which gave him four goals and four assists over his last six games. For the season, the 32-year-old winger is at 12 tallies, 26 helpers, 13 power-play points, 59 shots on net and a plus-21 rating through 29 outings.

Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar: Lights lamp in win
Kolesar scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and logged five PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Kolesar dropped the gloves with Marcus Foligno in a heavyweight bout early in the contest. Kolesar would get the last laugh, as his third-period tally ended up being the game-winner. The winger has three goals, eight points, 36 hits and 11 PIM over his last 11 games. For the season, he has a career-high 10 goals to go with nine assists, 52 shots on net, 135 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 43 appearances.

Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl: Pair of points in Sunday's win
Hertl scored a goal on five shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Hertl earned his first multi-point effort since Dec. 23. He scored Vegas' third goal before helping out on a Pavel Dorofeyev tally a couple of minutes later, allowing the Golden Knights to comfortably pull ahead late in the contest. Hertl has four points over his last four outings and a total of 12 goals, 17 helpers, 101 shots on net, 57 hits and a minus-10 rating through 43 appearances this season.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Paces offense with three points
Dorofeyev scored two power-play goals on five shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Dorofeyev had his best game in months, carrying the Golden Knights' offense while Jack Eichel (illness) sat out Sunday's contest. Prior to this game, Dorofeyev had been in a four-game slump. The winger is up to 16 tallies, eight assists, 126 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 43 appearances. He's played mainly on the second line recently, though he also has a spot on the second power-play unit. Dorofeyev will set a new career high when he earns his next point.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Allows one goal in win
Hill gave up one goal on 16 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Hill has won five of his last seven starts, and he's given up exactly one goal in four of those victories. The 28-year-old limited the damage to a Ryan Hartman tally in the first period of Sunday's contest. Hill is now 18-7-2 with a 2.54 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 27 starts this season. He continues to alternate starts with Ilya Samsonov, so Hill would be lined up to make his next start Friday on the road versus the Hurricanes in the first half of a back-to-back.
