Injuries šŸ¤• are piling on in Vegas

Vegas Golden Knights forward William Karlsson will miss approximately six weeks with a broken foot, sources confirmed to The Athletic's Jesse Granger.

Karlsson was injured blocking a shot in Friday's win over the Anaheim Ducks.

The Golden Knights are already without key forwards Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty, and Alex Tuch due to injury. Vegas has managed a 3-4-3 record so far this season.


Karlsson registered three points in eight games before sustaining his injury. He'll be sorely missed in the Golden Knights' lineup, as he logs minutes on the power play and penalty kill.
 
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) ā€” Pittsburgh Penguins defensemen Marcus Pettersson and Chad Ruhwedel entered the COVID-19 protocol Monday after testing positive for the coronavirus.

Coach Mike Sullivan confirmed the positive tests, and said Pettersson is symptomatic while Ruhwedel is so far asymptomatic.

Pettersson and Ruhwedel are the fifth and sixth members of the Penguins enter the protocol so far this season, joining forwards Jeff Carter, Jack Guentzel and Zach Aston-Reese and defenseman Kris Letang.


Letang, who was symptomatic, has been cleared to return to the team though it's still too early to say whether he'll be available Thursday when the Penguins host Philadelphia. Carter, Guentzel and Aston-Reese have returned.

ā€œI donā€™t think itā€™s because guys arenā€™t diligent, or arenā€™t doing the right thing,ā€ Sullivan said. "I just think this is part of the world weā€™re living in right now. Itā€™s a little bit different this year, because thereā€™s some semblance of normalcy. The protocols arenā€™t mandated. But I think our guys do a really good job in just using common sense.ā€

The Jack Eichel sweepstakes is down to two.

The Calgary Flames and Vegas Golden Knights are the two remaining finalists to acquire the Buffalo Sabres superstar, sources told ESPN's Emily Kaplan.

Additionally, the Flames and Knights are both OK with Eichel getting his preferred artificial disc replacement surgery, according to Kaplan.


Eichel missed the second half of the 2020-21 campaign due to a herniated disc in his neck. He's been adamant about having the artificial disc replacement surgery, but the Sabres have denied his preferred method as they want him to have a fusion surgery. ADR is a relatively new procedure that hasn't been performed on an NHL player before.

This disagreement caused significant friction between the two sides, leading to several trade rumors throughout the offseason. Ultimately, no deals came to fruition over the summer. Eichel showed up for Sabres training camp but failed his physical due to the injury and was stripped of his captaincy in the process.

Eichel wouldn't be cleared to play for at least three months following the artificial disc replacement surgery, Kaplan added. The ADR's recovery timeline is two months shorter than the fusion surgery's.

The 25-year-old would fill a massive hole for the Golden Knights, who lack a bonafide No. 1 center. Elias Lindholm has emerged as a catalyst down the middle for the Flames, but Eichel would give them a dynamite 1-2 punch.

Eichel has five years left on his contract with an annual cap hit of $10 million. Buffalo is reportedly unwilling to retain any salary in the deal. Both the Flames and Golden Knights are up against the cap, so a significant contract or two would have to go the other way in order for either team to swing a deal.

The Sabres selected Eichel second overall at the 2015 NHL Draft. His best season came in 2019-20 when he racked up 78 points in 68 games.

Crosby missed the beginning of the campaign as he recovered from offseason wrist surgery and made his season debut Saturday.
