Max Pacioretty has suffered a setback for the Vegas Golden Knights, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Pacioretty suffered the setback during the morning skate Thursday. The Golden Knights have yet to announce the nature of the original injury or what the setback was, but coach Pete DeBoer did state that Pacioretty won’t be available in the near future. Whether that means a week, multiple weeks or a month is up to interpretation.
The Golden Knights have been snake bit with injuries this season. They currently have their top two wingers in Mark Stone and Pacioretty on the injured list, one of their top defenders, Shea Theodore, and top goaltender, Robin Lehner, all on injured reserve.
