The Vegas Golden Knights ruled out leading scorer Jack Eichel for their game Tuesday night against Colorado because of an upper-body injury. Eichel is listed as day-to-day. The Golden Knights also scratched defensemen Nicolas Hague and Alex Pietrangelo because of illness.

Vegas Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel was held out of the lineup against the Colorado Avalanche with an upper-body injury and joining him on the sidelines were Alex Pietrangelo and Nicolas Hague, both battling an illness.

Eichel will be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup due to his upper-body injury, and head coach Bruce Cassidy said Thursday that the 28-year-old remains day-to-day. The Golden Knights have just three games remaining on their regular-season schedule, and it's not yet clear whether Eichel will suit up for any of those matchups.
