Whitecloud (foot) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given that Whitecloud is recovering from a broken foot, his placement on injured reserve is not surprising.

A specific timeline for Whitecloud has yet to be announced, but it's fair to assume he's week-to-week.

Whitecloud has sustained a broken bone in his foot, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, it seems unlikely Whitecloud will be able to play in the Knights' upcoming back-to-back versus Edmonton and Calgary on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Fortunately for the defenseman, Vegas only has to play seven times in February, so he may not miss a lot of game time. Unless Alec Martinez (face) is available to play Tuesday, the team may need to recall a player from the minors to fill out its blue line.

Whitecloud will not be in the lineup versus Buffalo on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
