Coghlan was reassigned to the taxi squad Saturday, per CBS Sports.

EDGE Analysis

With Alex Pietrangelo (COVID-19 protocols) out, Coghlan will likely continue to see regular playing time on the third pairing. Expect Coghlan back on the active roster if Pietrangelo isn't ready for Tuesday's game versus the Ducks.

Coghlan will be promoted to the active roster and make his NHL debut Friday against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan is expected to skate with Nick Holden on the Golden Knights' third pairing during Friday's contest. The 22-year-old blueliner picked up 24 points in 60 AHL appearances last season.

Coghlan was assigned to the six-man taxi squad for the Golden Knights on Wednesday, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan's inclusion on the taxi squad suggests that he's ready for a new challenge after two seasons exclusively with AHL Chicago, having crafted 26 goals and 38 assists between 126 contests. Playmaking blueliners come at a premium in the fantasy realm, therefore, Coghlan's development is certainly worth charting as he gains more experience.

Coghlan is expected to make the Opening Night roster with the Golden Knights, Dom Luszczyszyn of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As noted by Luszczyszyn, Coghlan is contending for a third-pairing role vacated by Colin Miller, who was traded to Buffalo in late June. There hasn't been much talk about the hard-shooting defensive prospect since he procured a three-year, entry-level contract with Vegas two years back, but he averaged 0.61 points-per-game with AHL Chicago last season as a sneak peek at his offensive potential.
