  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Finds twine in win

    Whitecloud scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Whitecloud has been unusually productive lately with two goals and two assists over his last six games, going plus-5 in that span. The 28-year-old's role hasn't changed -- he's still on the third pairing with no power-play time -- so it doesn't seem likely he'll be able to keep up this recent pace. The blueliner has three goals, three assists, 34 shots on net, 49 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 33 appearances this season.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Adds helper in win

    Whitecloud managed an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

    Whitecloud has earned three points over five contests. That's a decent stretch for the third-pairing defenseman, but it's unlikely to last. He has five points, 32 shots on net, 49 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 32 appearances this season. Whitecloud is unlikely to be pressured for playing time by Kaedan Korczak, as the Golden Knights rarely make changes on the blue line when their preferred six defensemen are healthy.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Pockets first since Opening Night

    Whitecloud scored a goal on one shot in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens. He added one block and one hit.

    Whitecloud was an unlikely source to give the Golden Knights an early lead. He buried a feed from Tomas Hertl for his second goal of the season and first since Opening Night. The third-pair defenseman has four points through 30 outings.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Chips in with helper

    Whitecloud notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    The helper was Whitecloud's first in seven games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old has resumed his usual role on the third pairing, a spot that hasn't yielded much offense in 2024-25. He has three points, 28 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 43 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 28 appearances this season. Given his limited scoring, Whitecloud doesn't need to be considered in most fantasy formats.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Set to play Thursday

    Whitecloud (upper body) is expected back in the lineup versus Winnipeg on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

    Whitecloud has been sidelined since Nov. 23 versus the Canadiens, a stretch of seven games on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Considering he has just two points in 21 games this season, few fantasy players will be significantly impacted by his return to the lineup. Kaedan Korczak will likely be relegated to a spot in the press box with Whitecloud back in action.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Set to play during trip

    Whitecloud (upper body) is expected to suit up at some point during the Golden Knights' three-game road trip, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Monday.

    Head coach Bruce Cassidy didn't specify which game might work for Whitecloud's return to action, only indicating that it is expected at some point during the trip. Prior to his seven-game absence due to his upper-body problem, the 28-year-old blueliner was struggling to produce in the offensive end with just one point in his last 20 outings. Once cleared to play, Whitecloud figures to supplant Kaedan Korczak for a spot on the third defensive pairing.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Unavailable Friday

    Whitecloud (upper body) didn't take contact during Friday's morning skate, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, so he's not expected to play at home against Dallas.

    Whitecloud also missed Vegas' past six games. He has a goal, two points, 33 hits and 40 blocks in 21 outings in 2024-25. He will likely serve on the third pairing once he's ready to return.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Won't face Oilers

    Whitecloud (upper body) will not be in action versus Edmonton on Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Whitecloud will be sidelined for his fifth consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body problem. Vegas isn't particularly forthcoming when it comes to injuries, but the fact that the blueliner still isn't practicing should be an indication he'll also miss out versus the Ducks on Wednesday. If the Knights need a roster spot, they could put Whitecloud on injured reserve without impacting his return day since he's already been sidelined for over a week.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Won't return Saturday

    Whitecloud (upper body) will miss Saturday's tilt against Utah, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

    Whitecloud will miss his fourth straight game. He has a goal and one assist through 21 outings in 2024-25. His next chance to play will come Tuesday versus Edmonton.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Remains out Friday

    Whitecloud (upper body) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Jets, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

    Whitecloud will miss his third straight game, and it's unlikely he'll be ready for the second half of a back-to-back Saturday when the Golden Knights host Utah. The 28-year-old defenseman's status has not been updated since he exited last Saturday's game versus the Canadiens.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Sitting out Wednesday

    Whitecloud (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Avalanche, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

    Whitecloud is set to miss his second consecutive game after he got hurt in Montreal on Saturday. Kaedan Korczak remains in the lineup with Whitecloud unavailable. It's unclear if Whitecloud will be ready to return during a back-to-back with games Friday versus the Jets and Saturday against Utah.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Out Monday

    Whitecloud is unavailable for Monday's game against Philadelphia due to an upper-body injury, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

    Whitecloud has a goal, two points, 33 hits and 40 blocked shots in 21 appearances with Vegas in 2024-25. Robert Hagg, who was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday, is projected to draw into the lineup due to Whitecloud's absence. The 27-year-old Whitecloud is day-to-day, so he might still be able to return for Wednesday's contest in Colorado.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Exits late in contest

    Whitecloud (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Canadiens in the third period and didn't return, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

    There was no additional information regarding Whitecloud's injury after the contest. The defenseman had one assist, three hits and two blocked shots prior to the injury. Vegas is also missing Alex Pietrangelo (upper body), whose status is unknown for the team's road trip, and Ben Hutton (upper body), who is on long-term injured reserve until at least mid-December. If Whitecloud's injury is serious, the Golden Knights will need to recall a defenseman prior to Monday's game versus the Flyers.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Steady spot in lineup

    Whitecloud was held off the scoresheet for the 17th straight game in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

    Whitecloud has been steady in a bottom-four role, but he hasn't done anything on offense since he scored Opening Night. The 27-year-old blueliner has added 28 hits, 31 blocked shots, 14 shots on net, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 appearances. Whitecloud has never earned a 20-point campaign and will face an uphill battle to approach that mark this year, so he's not much of an option in fantasy.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Deposits goal in season-opening win

    Whitecloud scored a goal and added two hits in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.

    Whitecloud's goal came in the second period while he was on the ice alongside the top line. The defenseman has been a regular for the Golden Knights over the last four years, but he has topped 60 games just once and has a career high of 19 points in a single season. As such, his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats that count hits and blocked shots, as he is unlikely to score enough in a third-pairing role to draw widespread appeal.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Bags apple Sunday

    Whitecloud notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.

    Whitecloud has six helpers over his last nine contests. The third-pairing defenseman remains in a limited role, but he's chipping in solid offense. For the season, he's at 14 points, 50 shots on net, 123 hits, 102 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-3 rating through a 59 appearances. He'll set a career high in games played if he suits up for one of the Golden Knights' last two contests.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Posts assist in Friday's win

    Whitecloud managed an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 7-2 win over the Wild.

    Whitecloud hasn't been an everyday player lately, but he has five helpers over his last eight contests. The 27-year-old plays on the third pairing when he is in the lineup. He's produced 13 points, 49 shots on net, 123 hits, 102 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 58 outings overall. He needs to play in two of the Golden Knights' last three games to set a new career high for appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Chips in with assist

    Whitecloud logged an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Coyotes.

    Whitecloud was scratched for the previous two games, but he drew in for Alex Pietrangelo (illness) in this contest. The 27-year-old Whitecloud has four assists over his last five outings, giving him 12 points, 45 shots on net, 116 hits, 96 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 55 appearances. He continues to see third-pairing usage when he plays.

  • Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Earns helper in win

    Whitecloud produced an assist, five hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

    Whitecloud has three helpers over four games since he was scratched for three contests. The 27-year-old has responded well to that coaching decision, and he continues to hold a spot in the lineup over Alec Martinez while Alex Pietrangelo (illness) is out. Whitecloud is up to 11 points, 44 shots on net, 30 PIM, 113 hits and 94 blocked shots through 54 appearances this season.
