Terrible lineup news for Golden Knights ahead of do-or-die Game 5!
What an awful blow to Vegas hours before Game 5. Full story below:
The Vegas Golden Knights will be without a key player as they face elimination tonight against the Edmonton Oilers.
It has been reported that captain Mark Stone, who was not on the ice for the morning skate, is a game-time decision and is likely to miss the do-or-die contest as the Golden Knights trail the Oilers 3-1 in the second-round series.
To make things worse, defensemen Alex Pietrangelo and Brayden McNabb along with forward Brandon Saad, who also missed practice, are also going to be game-time decisions.
According to Sin Bin, the feeling is that both Stone and Saad will miss the action tonight as the Golden Knights need to win this contest to stay alive in the postseason.
However, McNabb and Pietrangelo are expected to be able to play.
Saad, who is said to be dealing with an undisclosed injury, played 16:11 in Game 2 of the series, and has two assists in eight games this post-season.
As for Stone, he left Game 3 with an undisclosed injury but played 21:42 in Game 4.
