Eakin (undisclosed) isn't in the projected lineup for Friday's road clash with the Sharks, NHL.com's Ross McKeon reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin has been sidelined for a week with what was originally considered a "minor" undisclosed injury, and the Golden Knights have yet to release any details regarding a specific timetable for his return. The 28-year-old pivot will have to wait for Tuesday's matchup with the Bruins for his next opportunity to make his 2019-20 debut.

Eakin (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin was already ruled out for Wednesday's season opener versus the Sharks, so placing him on IR simply opens up a roster spot for Nicolas Roy, who will be on standby in the event of an injury. His placement on IR is retroactive to Sept. 27, so he'll still be able to gear up for Friday's road game versus the Sharks.

Eakin (undisclosed) will miss Wednesday's matchup with San Jose, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin wasn't designated for injured reserve, so the club clearly expects him to be ready sooner rather than later. With the emergence of Cody Glass, the 28-year-old Eakin may find himself relegated to a fourth-line role this year, which would see him hard pressed to repeat the 41 points he put up in 2018-19.

Eakin (undisclosed) was left of injured reserve and can play in Wednesday's season-opener versus the Sharks, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights sent Nicolas Roy to AHL Chicago, leaving only 11 healthy forwards on the roster. That likely means the Golden Knights believe Eakin will be able to shake off his mystery injury in time for Opening Night. If he in fact suits up, Eakin is expected to play in the bottom six after rookie Cody Glass made the final roster.

Eakin (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

After leaving Friday's exhibition contest, it was unclear how serious Eakins' injury was. Luckily, it doesn't seem like it will keep the forward out for long. At this point, he seems likely to be good enough to suit up next Wednesday for the regular-season opener. Another update on Eakins' status is sure to come before then.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what type of injury Eakin is dealing with or how serious it may be. The 28-year-old was forced out during the third period. More information should be released prior to the team's season opener Wednesday.

Eakin delivered a goal and an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes to open the preseason.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin understandably took a lot of heat for his ejection in a crucial Game 7 against the Sharks last April, but the third-liner has a clean slate, and he looked quite comfortable against the 'Yotes in this one. There is deep-league appeal with Eakin after he fashioned a career-high 22 goals to complement 19 assists over 78 games last year.

Eakin was ejected for a cross-check on Sharks forward Joe Pavelski in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin contributed a goal and three shots before his penalty, which acted as a lighter in a puddle of kerosene for the Sharks' offense. Jonathan Marchessault would score with 47 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, but Barclay Goodrow gave the Sharks the win in the extra frame. Had Eakin not committed the infraction, the Golden Knights would likely have gone on to win in a rout.

Eakin scored on his only shot in Monday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

The goal gave Eakin 40 points (22 tallies, 18 assists) in 76 games, matching his career high from 2014-15, which he recorded in 78 games that season. Eakin's provided exceptional depth scoring from the third line of a deep forward group for the Golden Knights. He's also played to a plus-20 rating.

Eakin scored a power-play goal in Monday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin has four goals and a helper in eight games in March, providing valuable depth scoring for a Golden Knights offense that ranks 13th in the league with 2.97 goals per game. Eakin has 37 points (19 tallies, 18 assists) in 69 games this season, closing in on what would be his second 40-point campaign in his career.
