Theodore (illness) will play Tuesday versus the Sabres, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Theodore was considered questionable for Tuesday, but he appears to be healthy enough to handle his usual top-four role. The defenseman has been limited to just one assist over his last 10 outings, so he'll look to get his offense back on track.

Head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters in Buffalo on Monday that Theodore is contending with an illness, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear if Theodore's illness will impact his availability for Tuesday's game in Buffalo. If the left-shot blueliner ends up sitting out against the Sabres, Ben Hutton will draw into the lineup.

Theodore (not injury related) is slated to return to action against the Capitals on Friday, SinBin.vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

Theodore rested during Wednesday's game against the Kings after participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics, but he should be good to return following a one-game absence. He's recorded seven goals, 20 assists and 66 blocked shots while averaging 23:42 of ice time over 46 appearances with the Golden Knights this year.

Theodore will sit out Wednesday's matchup against Los Angeles, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Theodore, Mark Stone and Mitch Marner stayed back in Vegas to get some extra rest after coming back from the Olympics. According to head coach Bruce Cassidy, all three players are expected to join the team for Friday's clash in Washington.

Theodore scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Theodore continues to impress, earning three goals and two assists over five games since his return from an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old defenseman has seven goals, 25 points, a plus-15 rating, 85 shots on net and 54 blocked shots through 36 outings overall. Theodore is the Golden Knights' top blueliner, and he's producing offense at a high pace once again, so he's a lock to be in most fantasy lineups.

Theodore scored an empty-net goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Theodore has scored in consecutive games since recovering from an upper-body injury that cost him 11 contests. The 30-year-old defenseman has immediately returned to first-pairing minutes and a spot on the top power-play unit, which bodes well for his offense moving forward as well. He's at six goals, 22 points, 78 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 33 outings.

Theodore scored the game-winning goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Theodore missed 11 games due to an upper-body injury. He returned Saturday and led the Golden Knights with 21:57 of ice time, so he looks prepared to handle a full workload moving forward. The 30-year-old's tally also stood as the game-winner, his third such goal this season. The defenseman is at five goals, 21 points, 76 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 32 appearances. Theodore should be productive if he can stay healthy for the remainder of the campaign, though that's no guarantee -- he's missed at least 15 contests in each of the last three campaigns.

Theodore (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Following an 11-game absence, Theodore will return to a second-pairing role and should see time on the power play. He has amassed four goals, 20 points, 74 shots on net and 48 blocked shots in 31 appearances this season. Vegas returned Dylan Coghlan to AHL Henderson in a corresponding move.

An exact timeline for his recovery is unclear, but he might return before the end of January. Theodore has accounted for four goals, 20 points, 74 shots on net and 48 blocked shots in 31 appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis

Theodore missed Wednesday's game against New Jersey and is likely out until the New Year. He got off to a slow start with five assists in his first 14 games, but he's upped his offensive production since then, tallying four goals and 11 assists in his last 17 games. Jeremy Lauzon returned to action Wednesday after missing 14 games, taking Theodore's place in the lineup.
