Theodore (arm) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's road matchup against the Wild, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Bruce Cassidy relayed that Theodore will make the decision whether he's in the lineup Tuesday. The left-shot blueliner has missed 14 consecutive games after getting hurt in the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament. Pierce noted that Theodore said he "feels good," so even if he doesn't suit up in Minnesota, the 29-year-old is poised to return at some point during Vegas' three-game road trip. Theodore occupied a spot on the second pairing next to Brayden McNabb at Tuesday's morning skate.

Theodore (arm) is with the club on its three-game road trip and is on track to return to the lineup this week, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Theodore will need to be activated from long-term injured reserve in order to be eligible to suit up. The smooth-skating blueliner returned to practice last week in a non-contact jersey, though it's unclear if he has upgraded to full contact as of Monday. Kaedan Korczak and Ben Hutton will more than likely be Vegas' extra defensemen once Theodore is ready to return. The 29-year-old Theodore could be eased back into action once he's in the lineup, but he should eventually replace Noah Hanifin on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Theodore (arm) was placed on long-term injured reserve Thursday, retroactive to the 4 Nations Face-Off break, SinBin.Vegas reports.
EDGE Analysis
Theodore sustained an arm injury during the 4 Nations Face-Off break but returned to practice in a non-contact jersey this week. While he appears to be trending in the right direction, he'll still be placed on long-term injured reserve as a procedural move after William Karlsson (lower body) was activated from LTIR.

Theodore (arm) wore a non-contact jersey during Tuesday's practice, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Theodore appears to be progressing despite being week-to-week and not having a clear timeline for his return to the lineup. He has missed the last 11 games after getting injured during the 4 Nations Face-Off. If Theodore's return isn't close, he might land on long-term injured reserve to allow Vegas to activate William Karlsson (lower body) from the LTIR list.

Theodore (arm) is week-to-week after he was injured early in the second period versus Sweden on Wednesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Theodore took a big hit into the boards, courtesy of Adrian Kempe, and did not return. It is a huge blow for Team Canada as well as the Golden Knights, who will be without their star defenseman when the season starts up again Feb. 22. Theodore has seven goals and 41 assists across 55 appearances this season. Travis Sanheim will enter Team Canada's lineup replacing Theodore on Saturday versus the United States.

Theodore (arm) is out the rest of the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, reports Willie Ramirez of the Hockey News.
EDGE Analysis
Canada's coach Jon Cooper revealed the loss at the postgame presser. This is devastating news for Canada, but worse for the Golden Knights. Theodore has 48 points (seven goals, 41 assists) in 55 NHL games this season, and he sits fourth in NHL scoring from the blue line. We don't know how much time he'll miss, but it is likely measured in weeks.

Theodore suffered an apparent arm or wrist injury and won't return to Wednesday's game versus Team Sweden, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Theodore was injured on a hit from Adrian Kempe in the second period. The 29-year-old Theodore is day-to-day leading into Team Canada's second game versus Team USA on Saturday. If he can't play, Travis Sanheim will enter the lineup after serving as a scratch Wednesday. The teams are not allowed to substitute in new players that were not named to the roster now that the tournament has started, unless the team has fewer than 18 healthy skaters.

Theodore tallied two assists and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-3 win against the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Theodore's first helper was a shot that Mark Stone tipped in past Boston's Jeremy Swayman. Theodore then assisted Pavel Dorofeyev's game-tying goal in the third period. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to 41 assists, 48 points, 69 blocks, and 111 shots on goal across 55 appearances this season. The blueliner registered his first multi-assist game since Jan. 20 and has four points in his past four contests. Theodore's 41 helpers are tied for third-most among defensemen. He continues to lead Vegas' power play from the blue line and is an elite playmaker. Expect Theodore to have great value in fantasy the rest of the season and to come out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break with momentum after he competes with Team Canada.

Theodore scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Theodore has three goals and 10 assists over his last 13 outings, a span that includes five power-play points. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to seven goals, 46 points, 110 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 54 appearances. This season is already tied for his second-highest point output, and he's six behind his career-high 52 from the 2021-22 campaign.

Theodore provided a helper, added two blocks and took three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's helper was Theodore's first since Jan. 20 where he had four assists. The 29-year-old blueliner is up to 39 assists, 45 points, 65 blocks and 103 shots on goal in 52 games this season. The defenseman's 39 helpers are tied for 14th-most in the league and third-most among other blueliners. Vegas is struggling with just two wins in its last 10 games, but if the team can gain momentum as a team, the power-play specialist should have plenty of opportunities to add to his season totals. Theodore is the strongest offensive blueliner for the Golden Knights in fantasy and a strong starter in any format.
