Morelli was sent to the minors Friday, per PuckPedia.
Morelli has played in nine games with the Golden Knights this season, recording three goals and one assist. His move to the minors has made him eligible for the AHL playoffs, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him right back with the big club ahead of Saturday's game versus Detroit.

Golden Knights' Mason Morelli: Lights lamp in loss
Rotowire
Morelli scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Morelli has three goals and an assist over eight NHL appearances this year. The winger got Vegas on the board late in the first period Monday. He was able to stick on the roster with Jack Eichel (knee) returning Monday, but it's unclear if Morelli will stay in the NHL once William Carrier (upper body), Pavel Dorofeyev (upper body) and Brett Howden (upper body) are all healthy again. Morelli has been confined to a fourth-line role when in the lineup.

Golden Knights' Mason Morelli: Scores in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Morelli scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Morelli has two goals, one assist, seven shots on net, 13 hits and four blocked shots over his first five NHL contests. The 28-year-old forward has played on the Golden Knights' fourth line lately with injuries piling up among the team's forwards. Morelli can probably be ignored in most fantasy formats, as his time with the big club will likely end once a couple of the injured forwards are able to return.
