The Vegas Golden Knights will be without Chandler Stephenson for three games, as the NHL suspended the forward for an elbow in Wednesday night's loss against Los Angeles.

Stephenson landed an elbow to the head of Kings' D Tobias Bjornfot with just under two minutes to go in the second period.

Stephenson's return to the lineup can come as early as April 7, in a road game against St. Louis.
