Ivan Barbashev — Jack Eichel — Mark Stone
Brandon Saad — Tomas Hertl — Pavel Dorofeyev
Nicolas Roy — William Karlsson – Reilly Smith
Tanner Pearson — Brett Howden — Keegan Kolesar

Nicolas Hague — Alex Pietrangelo

Adin Hill
Ilya Samsonov

Scratched: Ben Hutton, Victor Olofsson, Cole Schwindt

Injured: Raphael Lavoie (upper body), Shea Theodore (upper body)

Status report:

The Golden Knights held an optional morning skate. … Karlsson is a game-time decision after missing 20 games because of a lower-body injury; if he plays, the center would skate on the third line between Roy and Smith. If Karlsson doesn’t play, Schwindt or Olofsson, each a forward, would enter the lineup. … Theodore practiced as a full participant Wednesday but the defenseman will miss his 12th straight game.
