Golden Knights' Zach Whitecloud: Out of action for finale
Rotowire
Whitecloud (rest) won't play Wednesday versus the Canucks, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.
Whitecloud doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury. He'll get a game off to end the regular season after posting 13 hits, 72 shots on net, 117 hits and 103 blocked shots over 74 appearances. Whitecloud will likely be on the third pairing for most of the postseason, likely at the expense of Kaedan Korczak's playing time.

Golden Knights' Brandon Saad: Resting Wednesday
Rotowire
Saad (rest) won't play Wednesday versus the Canucks, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.
Saad put up three points in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames, so he's earned a little rest. He ended the regular season with 30 points in 72 games between the Golden Knights and the Blues.

Rotowire
Hanifin (rest) won't play Wednesday versus the Canucks, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.
Hanifin will be out of action for the second game in a row to end the regular season. The 28-year-old should be right back in a top-four role when the Golden Knights face the Wild in Game 1 of the playoffs.

Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl: Takes turn out of lineup
Rotowire
Hertl (rest) is not on the ice for warmups and is not expected to play Wednesday versus the Canucks.
Hertl recently returned from a shoulder injury and logged two points over three contests since getting back in the lineup. He should be fine for Game 1 versus the Wild to open the postseason.

Golden Knights' Alex Pietrangelo: Back in action
Rotowire
Pietrangelo (undisclosed) took the ice for warmups and is expected to play Wednesday versus the Canucks.
This will be Pietrangelo's return from a four-game absence. He will replace Zach Whitecloud in the lineup, with Whitecloud's absence likely being for rest.

Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Resting again
Rotowire
Stone (rest) is not on the ice for warmups and won't play Wednesday versus the Canucks.
Stone will rest a second straight game to end the regular season. He concludes with 19 goals and 67 points over 66 appearances in one of his strongest campaigns yet. Assuming there's no underlying injury, Stone should be in action for Game 1 of the playoffs versus the Wild.

Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Set to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Eichel (upper body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play Wednesday versus the Canucks.
Eichel missed four games with the injury, but it looks like the Golden Knights are allowing him to get back up to game speed in the regular-season finale. Tomas Hertl will be rested to make room for Eichel in the lineup.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Schmid will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Wednesday.
Schmid will get the nod in the regular-season finale, allowing Adin Hill a bit more rest before the playoffs. The 24-year-old Schmid is 1-0-1 with four goals allowed on 73 shots (.945 save percentage) over four NHL outings. He may stick with the Golden Knights for the playoffs, but the 24-year-old won't see the ice unless both Hill and Ilya Samsonov get hurt.
Golden Knights' Cole Schwindt: Little playing time late in season
Rotowire
Schwindt has played in just three of the Golden Knights' 22 games since the start of March.
Schwindt could draw in for Wednesday's regular-season finale if the Golden Knights opt to rest more players. The 23-year-old missed some time with a lower-body injury between January and March, and he hasn't been able to carve out a regular role since he got healthy. He's contributed seven helpers, 31 shots on net and 38 hits over 41 appearances this season. Barring a bad stretch of injuries, Schwindt probably won't see much action in the playoffs.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Hands out helper in return
Rotowire
Hague logged an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
Hague had missed three games due to an illness. The 26-year-old saw 16:59 of ice time in his return, and he helped out on a Tomas Hertl tally in the first period. Hague is up to 12 points, 73 shots on net, 79 hits, 73 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 67 appearances. He'll likely be a regular in the lineup during the playoffs, but he probably won't play above the third pairing.

Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar: Achieves first 30-point season
Rotowire
Kolesar logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
Kolesar has a helper in each of the last two games and four assists over his last 10 outings. He contributed on Nicolas Roy's first-period tally in this contest. Kolesar has reached the 30-point mark for the first time, doing so with 12 goals and 18 assists. He's added 86 shots on net, 236 hits, 48 blocked shots, 53 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 81 appearances in a strong season for a bottom-six forward.

Golden Knights' Ivan Barbashev: Registers helper in shootout loss
Rotowire
Barbashev notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
Barbashev's usual linemates, Jack Eichel (upper body) and Mark Stone (rest) weren't in action Tuesday. Barbashev instead worked on a checking line with Nicolas Roy and Keegan Kolesar, and the trio contributed the Golden Knights' second goal. Versatility is a good thing and should help Barbashev contribute from anywhere in the lineup during the playoffs. He has three goals and an assist over his last five outings, giving him 51 points, a plus-26 rating, 111 shots on net and 104 hits through 70 contests this season.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Roy: Buries goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Roy scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
Roy led the Golden Knights' forwards with 19:18 of ice time while Jack Eichel (upper body) and Mark Stone (rest) were out. With four goals and an assist over his last eight contests, Roy has found a groove on offense late in the season. He's up to 15 goals, 31 points, 106 shots on net, 71 hits, 46 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 70 appearances.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Opens scoring Tuesday
Rotowire
Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
Dorofeyev snapped a four-game point drought in this contest. He struck early, scoring just 5:25 into the game. The 24-year-old winger is up to 34 goals, 51 points, 247 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 81 appearances. Dorofeyev shouldn't fly too far under the radar in playoff fantasy formats, especially when occupying a top-six role on a top-seeded team.

Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl: Picks up pair of points
Rotowire
Hertl scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
Hertl's two points came in the first period, getting him on the scoresheet for the first time in three games since he returned from a shoulder injury. The 31-year-old center is at 32 goals and 61 points over 73 appearances this season, the fourth time in 12 years he's exceeded the 60-point mark. Hertl has added 177 shots on net, 99 hits, 56 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while regularly playing on the second line this year.

Golden Knights' Brandon Saad: Three-point effort Tuesday
Rotowire
Saad scored a goal on four shots and added two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
Saad had been limited to just one assist, also against the Flames, over the previous 12 games. His goal drought entering Tuesday was at 15 contests before his third-period tally, which forced overtime. The 32-year-old winger is now at 13 goals, 17 assists, 127 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 72 appearances between the Golden Knights and the Blues. He'll need to find more consistency in the playoffs.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Handed shootout loss
Rotowire
Samsonov allowed four goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
Samsonov returned to the crease after missing eight games, which suggests he's healthy heading into the postseason. That'll be a relief for the Golden Knights, though Adin Hill will likely get the majority of the starts at least to begin the playoffs. Samsonov has likely wrapped up his regular season in the first half of a back-to-back set. If that's the case, he'll close at 16-9-4 with a 2.82 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 29 appearances. One of Hill or Akira Schmid is likely to get the nod in Vancouver on Wednesday for the regular-season finale.
