Shea Theodore News
Theodore has missed the last three games but is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Avalanche. Theodore skated with Nick Holden and on the top power-play unit in the Golden Knights' morning skate.
Theodore was forced to leave Tuesday's game vs. the Ducks and will not play in the rematch on Thursday. Luckily for the Golden Knights, they will get Alex Pietrangelo back from the COVID-19 reserve list to replace Theodore.
Theodore saw some time in the AHL last year, but quickly showed he belonged in the NHL, scoring five goals and six assists (11 points) in just eight games with the Chicago Wolves. With the Golden Knights he registered 29 points (6G / 23A) in 61 games and is a front-runner to lead the Vegas blueline in ice-time this season. Theodore may have to battle with Colin Miller for top power-play time, but he is a candidate for a 10-goal, 30-assist season on a strong Vegas squad.
Theodore has missed the last six games with an illness, but will play on Friday. Theodore will replace Luca Sbisa, who is heading to IR. The young defenseman has picked up four goals and 14 assists (18 points) in 42 games in his first year with Vegas.
Theodore has missed the last four games with an illness, but head coach Gerard Gallant said that he’s had a couple of good skates and is possible for Monday’s contest. Theodore has been held pointless in his last eight contests.
