Hague (lower body) will miss Game 3 against Dallas on Saturday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hague had two goals, 12 points, 43 PIM, 154 hits and 111 blocks in 73 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. He also missed Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars due to the injury. Alec Martinez is likely to remain in the lineup for Game 3 due to Hague's continued absence.

Hague will not be available against the Stars for Game 2 on Wednesday due to a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Hague was officially classified as day-to-day, so he could still be an option for Game 3 back in Dallas on Saturday. Given the blueliner's 20-game pointless streak, few fantasy players figure to be concerned about the blueliner's status. In his absence, Alec Martinez will return to action after sitting out the previous contest as a healthy scratch.

Hague -- who missed the last eight minutes of Game 1 versus the Stars on Monday -- will be reevaluated prior to Game 2 on Wednesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Hague's potential absence is unlikely to impact the Golden Knights' offensive game after going pointless in his past 20 outings, he does add a level of physicality with 60 hits over that stretch. If Hague can't play Wednesday, coach Bruce Cassidy will have the choice between Alec Martinez or Ben Hutton for the third pairing.

Hague notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Hague had gone nine games without a point entering Monday. That's not his longest drought of the year -- he's also had slumps of 10 and 12 contests. Hague's third-pairing role plays a significant part in his limited offense. He's at 12 points, 77 shots on net, 98 hits, 86 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 54 appearances. He's roughly on the same scoring pace that saw him record 17 points in 81 outings a year ago.

Hague scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Hague tallied just 1:17 into the contest, earning his fourth point over the last nine games. It was his second goal of the campaign -- his only other marker this season was in a two-point effort versus the Sharks on Oct. 12. Hague has 11 points, 67 shots on net, 52 hits, 70 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 44 appearances. He remains in a third-pairing role, so most fantasy managers can find more productive depth options on the waiver wire.

Hague notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Hague has picked up three helpers over his last six games. The 25-year-old assisted on a Sheldon Rempal tally in the first period Friday. Hague continues to occupy a bottom-four role, though he's at little risk of losing his place in the lineup regardless of his scoring output. He's earned 10 points with 62 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 49 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 41 appearances.

Hague logged an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Hague has a helper in each of the last two contests after going 10 games without a point. The third-pairing defenseman is at nine points, 58 shots on net, 61 blocked shots, 46 hits, 32 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 37 appearances. He likely won't score enough to be helpful in most fantasy formats.

Hague posted an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Hague snapped a 10-game point drought when he assisted on Mark Stone's first-period marker. The 25-year-old Hague plays as a mostly physical presence in a bottom-four role. He has eight points, 58 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 43 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 36 contests this season. The physicality could be a boost in deep fantasy formats.

Hague produced an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Hague has helpers in consecutive games and four assists over his last 10 outings. The 25-year-old blueliner continues to see bottom-four usage with no power-play time, but playing with the Golden Knights has helped him put up respectable offense. For the year, he's at seven points, 35 shots on net, 27 hits, 40 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 25 appearances.

Hague notched an assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Hague has three helpers over his last nine games. The 25-year-old defenseman isn't one to put up large point totals while playing in a third-pairing role, though he's also exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in each of the last three games. For the year, Hague has six points, 35 shots, 40 blocks, 26 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 24 outings. His non-scoring production could make him an option for fantasy managers in deeper formats.
