LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vegas Golden Knights leading scorer Jack Eichel was placed on injured reserve because of a lower-body injury, the club confirmed Monday.
The designation means Eichel must miss at least seven days dating back to when he couldn’t physically play.
Defenseman Zach Whitecould went out Sunday with a lower-body injury, and on Monday was placed on long-term IR, the team confirmed. That designation means Whitecloud will miss at least 10 games and 24 days.
The Knights announced on Twitter they recalled Jonas Rondbjerg, Brayden Pachal and Kaedan Korczak from their American Hockey League affiliate in Henderson.
Eichel has missed three of the past four games. He played in Friday’s 2-1 overtime victory over the Philadelphia Flyers but was out of the lineup in Sunday’s 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins.
Eichel leads the Knights with 13 goals and 29 points, and his 16 assists are third.
