Glass went through concussion protocol following Sunday's game and was not at the Golden Knights facility on Monday. Glass has been ruled out of Tuesday's game, so Will Carrier skated on the Golden Knights' third line in practice.

Mikey DiPietro was called up from Utica (AHL) and will serve as Demko's backup tomorrow.
