Status report:
The Golden Knights did not hold a morning skate following a 5-4 shootout loss at the Calgary Flames on Tuesday, so it’s unclear if any of the players who were rested will return for their regular-season finale; the list could include Hill, a goalie, Stone, a forward, Eichel, a center, and defensemen Pietrangelo and Hanifin
