Golden Knights' Michael Amadio: Scores in win
Amadio scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
Amadio extended Vegas' lead to 2-0 in the first period, following up his own rebound after Shea Theodore set him up on a breakaway with an impressive stretch pass. Amadio is up to 12 goals and 22 points, both career highs, through 58 games this season. While the 26-year-old center has had productive stretches this season, he's unlikely to provide consistent scoring while skating on the fourth line.

The 26-year-old center is up to 12 goals and 14 assists through 55 games this season.

Golden Knights' Reilly Smith: Suffers lower-body injury
Smith (lower body) didn't finish Thursday's game versus the Flames and is unlikely to play Saturday versus the Oilers, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Smith wasn't available in the third period, and it appears he'll miss some time. Paul Cotter is likely to draw into the lineup to cover for Smith on Saturday and perhaps beyond, depending on the severity of the injury.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Exits game in third period
Thompson (undisclosed) went down the tunnel in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Flames, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Thompson stopped 37 of 39 shots but had to exit late in the third period, with Jonathan Quick stepping in to replace him. It's a bit concerning since Thompson was making his return from an injury he sustained Feb. 9. Per Gotz, it's unlikely Thompson will be available Saturday versus the Oilers.

Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar: Not play Thursday
Kolesar (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Flames.
Kolesar is traveling with the team but continues to sit out. This will be his sixth straight absence, and with Nicolas Roy (lower body) returning to action Thursday, competition for playing time in a bottom-six role has increased while Kolesar has been out.

Blueger scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Nets game-winner Tuesday
Dorofeyev scored a goal on three shots, went plus-2 and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
For the fourth time in five games during his current stint with the big club, Dorofeyev found the back of the net. The 22-year-old has six points in that span, and he's added 18 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through eight contests overall. Dorofeyev is making it very tough to imagine he'll exit the lineup once the Golden Knights get Nicolas Roy (lower body) and Keegan Kolesar (upper body) back from injuries.
