Whitecloud (upper body) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Jets, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitecloud will miss his third straight game, and it's unlikely he'll be ready for the second half of a back-to-back Saturday when the Golden Knights host Utah. The 28-year-old defenseman's status has not been updated since he exited last Saturday's game versus the Canadiens.

Whitecloud (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Avalanche, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitecloud is set to miss his second consecutive game after he got hurt in Montreal on Saturday. Kaedan Korczak remains in the lineup with Whitecloud unavailable. It's unclear if Whitecloud will be ready to return during a back-to-back with games Friday versus the Jets and Saturday against Utah.

Whitecloud is unavailable for Monday's game against Philadelphia due to an upper-body injury, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

EDGE Analysis

Whitecloud has a goal, two points, 33 hits and 40 blocked shots in 21 appearances with Vegas in 2024-25. Robert Hagg, who was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday, is projected to draw into the lineup due to Whitecloud's absence. The 27-year-old Whitecloud is day-to-day, so he might still be able to return for Wednesday's contest in Colorado.

Whitecloud (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Canadiens in the third period and didn't return, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was no additional information regarding Whitecloud's injury after the contest. The defenseman had one assist, three hits and two blocked shots prior to the injury. Vegas is also missing Alex Pietrangelo (upper body), whose status is unknown for the team's road trip, and Ben Hutton (upper body), who is on long-term injured reserve until at least mid-December. If Whitecloud's injury is serious, the Golden Knights will need to recall a defenseman prior to Monday's game versus the Flyers.

Whitecloud was held off the scoresheet for the 17th straight game in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Whitecloud has been steady in a bottom-four role, but he hasn't done anything on offense since he scored Opening Night. The 27-year-old blueliner has added 28 hits, 31 blocked shots, 14 shots on net, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 appearances. Whitecloud has never earned a 20-point campaign and will face an uphill battle to approach that mark this year, so he's not much of an option in fantasy.

Whitecloud scored a goal and added two hits in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Whitecloud's goal came in the second period while he was on the ice alongside the top line. The defenseman has been a regular for the Golden Knights over the last four years, but he has topped 60 games just once and has a career high of 19 points in a single season. As such, his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats that count hits and blocked shots, as he is unlikely to score enough in a third-pairing role to draw widespread appeal.

Whitecloud notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Whitecloud has six helpers over his last nine contests. The third-pairing defenseman remains in a limited role, but he's chipping in solid offense. For the season, he's at 14 points, 50 shots on net, 123 hits, 102 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-3 rating through a 59 appearances. He'll set a career high in games played if he suits up for one of the Golden Knights' last two contests.

Whitecloud managed an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 7-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Whitecloud hasn't been an everyday player lately, but he has five helpers over his last eight contests. The 27-year-old plays on the third pairing when he is in the lineup. He's produced 13 points, 49 shots on net, 123 hits, 102 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 58 outings overall. He needs to play in two of the Golden Knights' last three games to set a new career high for appearances.

Whitecloud logged an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Whitecloud was scratched for the previous two games, but he drew in for Alex Pietrangelo (illness) in this contest. The 27-year-old Whitecloud has four assists over his last five outings, giving him 12 points, 45 shots on net, 116 hits, 96 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 55 appearances. He continues to see third-pairing usage when he plays.

EDGE Analysis

Whitecloud has three helpers over four games since he was scratched for three contests. The 27-year-old has responded well to that coaching decision, and he continues to hold a spot in the lineup over Alec Martinez while Alex Pietrangelo (illness) is out. Whitecloud is up to 11 points, 44 shots on net, 30 PIM, 113 hits and 94 blocked shots through 54 appearances this season.
