Rumor: Devastating loss could prompt Vegas into desperate trade

The Vegas Golden Knights might have had the start of the season everyone wished for, but it seems that some of their beginners' luck has run out. On Monday night, the Knights lost another goaltender to injury. Their third netminder that is... 

Third-string goaltender Oscar Dansk left last night's game against the New York Islanders with a lower-body injury. Head coach Gerard Gallant did not have an update on the injury after the game. Dansk was replaced by Maxime Lagace, who allowed four goals on 11 shots as Vegas was handed its second loss so far... 

The Golden Knights are already without starting goalie Marc-Andre Fleury due to a concussion and backup Malcolm Subban due to a lower-body injury. Now the Knights are expected to use Dylan Ferguson of the WHL's Kamloops Blazers as the team's backup on an emergency basis for Tuesday's game against the New York Rangers.

The team might have to look to the trade market to get some help in between the pipes if at least one of the three netminders is not expected to return shortly. The Winnipeg Jets are said to be listening on offers for Michael Hutchinson. 

The Knights might also try to charm back Calvin Pickard, whom they traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier this month and has been sitting in the minors. 

It will be interesting to see how long Dansk will be sidelined with his injury and how GM George McPhee plans to fix this significant lineup issue...
