Leschyshyn was assigned to AHL Henderson on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn's demotion suggests one of Vegas' injured centers may be ready to return Saturday against the Oilers. If so, Leschyshyn could be in for an extended stay in the minors.

Leschyshyn produced an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn has found his offense recently with a goal and three assists in his last four games after he opened his NHL career with 12 scoreless outings. The 22-year-old has added 16 shots on net, 17 hits, 12 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. He's making a convincing case to stay with the big club even after some injured players return.

Leschyshyn produced an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn collected the secondary assist on a Reilly Smith goal in the third period. The 22-year-old Leschyshyn has collected all three of his points this season in the last three games as he's settled in at the NHL level. The American-born forward has added 15 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-2 rating through 15 contests.

Leschyshyn scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn's first NHL assist came on a Reilly Smith goal in the second period. Buoyed by confidence, he tallied a goal of his own 2:20 into the third period. The 22-year-old Raleigh native has likely played a bigger role than expected for the Golden Knights this year, as he's appeared in 13 games. He's added 14 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-2 rating while mainly working in a bottom-six capacity.

Leschyshyn was promoted from AHL Henderson on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With the Golden Knights dealing with a raft of forward absences, Leschyshyn was brought back up to the NHL and figures to get into the lineup versus the Blues on Wednesday. In his previous outing, the 22-year-old Raleigh native recorded three hits, one shot and two PIM in 11:17 of ice time. If Vegas can get fully fit, Leschyshyn should be dropped to the minors on a more permanent basis.

Leschyshyn was reassigned to the minors Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn's demotion may just be a temporary cap move considering the Knights are off until Wednesday's matchup with the Blues. The 22-year-old center made his NHL debut versus the Kings on Wednesday, in which he generated three hits, two PIM and one shot, and could retake his spot on the fourth line versus St. Louis unless Mattias Janmark (COVID-19 protocols) or William Carrier (concussion) is cleared to play.

Leschyshyn was recalled from AHL Henderson on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leschyshyn, along with Jonas Rondbjerg, will replace Jack Dugan and Pavel Dorofeyev on the Knights' 23-man roster. This likely won't be the first time these four players shift between levels, making Leschyshyn and the others low-end fantasy options given their limited opportunities.
