Chandler Stephenson News



Stephenson is not on the ice for warmups and will miss Monday's game in Minnesota. Reilly Smith returns from an injury to replace Stephenson in the Golden Knights' lineup.



Stephenson will come out of the Golden Knights lineup on Friday due to personal reasons. With Stephenson out, Nicolas Roy should move up to the top line with Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty.












Stephenson was missing from the Golden Knights morning skate and is questionable to play vs. the Sharks. Cody Glass moved up to skate between Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone in the morning skate, so look for him to skate three if Stephenson can't go.

The RFA got a $2.0M raise after posting a career-high 22 points (8G / 14A) while appearing in just 41 games. The 26-year-old forward was a Swiss Army Knife for the Golden Knights in 2020, playing up and down the lineup, on the wing or at centre, depending on what Vegas needed. Stephenson is best suited in a bottom-6 role and if he's their fourth line centre, they're in great shape.

Stephenson was scratched Monday in Edmonton and was re-evaluated upon their return to Vegas and will be a game-time decision Thursday in Minnesota.
