Golden Knights' Chandler Stephenson: Adds helper in overtime loss
Stephenson recorded an assist, two hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
Stephenson moved to center on the second line Saturday after previously playing on the wing. The move didn't pay off for Vegas, but Stephenson was able to chip in the lone helper on Brayden McNabb's second-period tally. That assist was Stephenson's first point in three playoff games to go with four shots on net, seven hits, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He should continue to fill a middle-six role.

Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Nets shortie Saturday
Eichel scored a shorthanded goal on six shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
Eichel's goal in the second period tied the game at 2-2. After finishing the regular season with a four-game point spree (two goals, three assists), the 27-year-old has two tallies and three assists during a three-game point streak to begin the playoffs. The star center has added eight hits, 11 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in the postseason as he continues to be the centerpiece of the Vegas offense.

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Continues to impress in playoffs
McNabb scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added four hits and blocked five shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
McNabb got the Golden Knights on the board midway through the second period, and he set up a Jack Eichel shorthanded tally just a few minutes later. The 33-year-old McNabb has two goals, one assist, six shots on net, seven hits and 13 blocked shots through three playoff outings in a top-four role. He's known more for his physical play but had a career-high 26 points (four goals, 22 assists) in 82 games during the regular season. McNabb has carried over that success into the early stages of the postseason.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Strong effort in overtime loss
Thompson allowed three goals on 46 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
Thompson's performance was a big reason the game got deep into overtime, as he came up with a handful of big saves against a desperate Stars team. It wasn't enough in the end, as Wyatt Johnston closed the scoring with a top-shelf goal in the extra session. Thompson has allowed seven goals on 96 shots while going 2-1 in the first-round series, and it's unlikely this loss will cost him the starting job. Game 4 is Monday in Vegas.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Set to start Saturday
Thompson is expected to start at home in Game 3 against Dallas on Saturday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Thompson has helped Vegas win the opening two games of the first-round series by stopping 46 of 50 shots (.920 save percentage). That's part of a larger hot streak in which he's posted a 2.12 GAA and a .925 save percentage over his past 13 appearances. Dallas ranked third offensively in the regular season with 3.59 goals per contest, so the Stars shouldn't be taken lightly, even after being defeated by Vegas twice.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Unavailable for Saturday
Hague (lower body) will miss Game 3 against Dallas on Saturday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Hague had two goals, 12 points, 43 PIM, 154 hits and 111 blocks in 73 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. He also missed Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars due to the injury. Alec Martinez is likely to remain in the lineup for Game 3 due to Hague's continued absence.

Golden Knights' Ivan Barbashev: Puts up assist
Barbashev notched an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.
Barbashev helped out on Jonathan Marchessault's game-tying goal in the first period. Barbashev has earned a helper in each of the first two playoff contests while continuing his role on the top line. The 28-year-old isn't the most gifted natural scorer, but he's in a good situation and should provide depth offense with plenty of hits in the postseason.

Golden Knights' Noah Hanifin: Nets go-ahead goal
Hanifin scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.
Hanifin's tally late in the second period stood as the game-winner. The defenseman has three points over two playoff contests as he continues to show why Vegas was interested in trading for him in March. In addition to a top-pairing role at even strength, Hanifin is also seeing time on the first power-play unit and killing penalties, making him arguably the Golden Knights' most important blueliner thus far in the postseason.

Golden Knights' Jonathan Marchessault: Earns two points in Game 2 win
Marchessault scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and logged six hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.
Marchessault provided a quick response to Jason Robertson's opening goal late in the first period. In the third, Marchessault set up Jack Eichel's empty-netter. With three points, five shots and seven hits over two playoff contests, Marchessault is already in top form as a power winger on the Golden Knights' top line.

Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Two points in Game 2 win
Eichel scored an empty-net goal on five shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged two hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.
Eichel has four points over two playoff outings, and he's earned three goals and six helpers during his six-game point streak. The center set up Jonathan Marchessault's game-tying goal in the first period before adding the empty-netter in the third. Eichel led the 2023 postseason with 26 points to contribute to the Golden Knights' first Stanley Cup championship, and he's off to a great start during their title defense.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Steady in Game 2 win
Thompson stopped 20 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.
Thompson has opened the playoffs with a pair of wins. He gave up only a power-play goal to Jason Robertson in the first period of this one, with the Golden Knights scoring the next three tallies for the win. Thompson has allowed seven goals during his four-game winning streak. At this point, the 27-year-old looks to have the starting role locked down, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get the nod for Saturday's Game 3 back in Vegas.

Golden Knights' Brendan Brisson: Headlines Black Aces call-ups
Brisson, Grigori Denisenko, Byron Froese, Kaedan Korczak, Dysin Mayo, Mason Morelli, Isaiah Saville, Christoffer Sedoff and Jesper Vikman were all recalled from AHL Henderson on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Brisson posted eight points in 15 NHL outings during the regular season. While none of these call-ups should be expected to see much playing time during the Golden Knights' playoff run, Brisson likely has the best chance of drawing in should injuries pile up. Henderson failed to qualify for the AHL playoffs, giving Vegas a chance to bolster its reserves.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Out with lower-body issue
Hague will not be available against the Stars for Game 2 on Wednesday due to a lower-body injury.
Hague was officially classified as day-to-day, so he could still be an option for Game 3 back in Dallas on Saturday. Given the blueliner's 20-game pointless streak, few fantasy players figure to be concerned about the blueliner's status. In his absence, Alec Martinez will return to action after sitting out the previous contest as a healthy scratch.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Set to start Wednesday
Thompson is expected to start on the road against Dallas in Game 2 on Wednesday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Thompson stopped 26 of 29 shots en route to a 4-3 victory over the Stars in Game 1 on Monday. He extended his winning streak to three contests and has allowed just six goals on 79 shots (.924 save percentage) in that span. The 27-year-old goaltender had a 25-14-5 record, 2.70 GAA and .908 save percentage in 46 outings during the regular season.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Sustains undisclosed injury
Hague -- who missed the last eight minutes of Game 1 versus the Stars on Monday -- will be reevaluated prior to Game 2 on Wednesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
While Hague's potential absence is unlikely to impact the Golden Knights' offensive game after going pointless in his past 20 outings, he does add a level of physicality with 60 hits over that stretch. If Hague can't play Wednesday, coach Bruce Cassidy will have the choice between Alec Martinez or Ben Hutton for the third pairing.
