Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Out with lower-body issue
Rotowire
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' Nicolas Hague: Sustains undisclosed injury
Rotowire
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.

If Hague can't play Wednesday, coach Bruce Cassidy will have the choice between Alec Martinez or Ben Hutton for the third pairing.
