Zach Whitecloud Injured Versus Detroit

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud was forced to make an early exit in Saturday's matchup against Detroit after picking up an undisclosed injury. He was hurt in the third period, leaving the contest after amassing two blocks and three hits across 13:03 of ice time. Whitecloud has already missed 16 games in 2023-24 and could now face a new spell on the sidelines. He's been a hitting machine for Vegas at the back, having registered 104 hits for the campaign with 85 blocks. Offensively, Whitecloud has contributed two goals and six assists. Ben Hutton is first in line to jump into the lineup if Whitecloud isn't available on Tuesday versus Seattle.

Zach Whitecloud Ready For Action On Friday

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud (upper body) will join the lineup for Friday's game against San Jose, making his season debut. The 26-year-old has missed the first month of the regular season with an upper-body injury he sustained during a preseason game. Whitecloud needed surgery to get it fixed, so it was a fairly serious injury. However, he's fully healthy now, and his presence is poised to provide a further boost for the reigning Stanley Cup champions, who have kicked off the new campaign with a fantastic 11-2-1 record. Whitecloud is offensively very limited but has averaged 1.63 blocks and 1.52 hits for his career. He will take Brayden Pachal at the back.

Zach Whitecloud Ruled Out For Rest Of Preseason

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud (upper body) has been ruled out for the rest of the postseason. The 26-year-old was injured in a preseason game on Monday versus Colorado, and while head coach Bruce Cassidy was hopeful that it won't be a long-term issue, Whitecloud's preparations for the new campaign have hit a big roadblock as he won't be able to work with the team for the remainder of the preseason. This also puts his availability for the regular-season opener in doubt.

Zach Whitecloud Nursing Unspecified Injury

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud is troubled by an undisclosed injury and isn't expected to see the ice for the rest of the week. The 26-year-old was injured in Monday's preseason game against Colorado. Whitecloud missed significant time last season and must be desperate to avoid another lengthy spell on the sidelines. He featured 59 times during the regular season in 2022-23, registering 12 points (five goals, seven assists) with 97 blocks and 90 hits. Whitecloud added two goals and six assists in 22 playoff outings during the Golden Knights' road to winning the Stanley Cup.

Zach Whitecloud Collects Two Assists In Game 1 Against Dallas

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud turned into a playmaker in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against Dallas on Friday, finishing a 4-3 overtime victory with two assists. He had a primary assist on a William Karlsson strike and registered a secondary assist when Teddy Blueger scored. The 26-year-old completed his line with one shot on goal, three blocks and one hit in 20:14 of ice time. Whitecloud has produced four assists in total in 12 playoff appearances this year, adding one goal. He's mostly anonymous offensively but has been busy on the defensive side of things, registering 18 blocks and 27 hits.

Zach Whitecloud Won't Play Tuesday

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud (lower body) won't feature in Tuesday's game against the Kraken. He was hurt in a game against Dallas over the weekend. Whitecloud sits on only 12 points for the season, but he has been a good source for blocks and hits for managers, throwing himself in front of 97 shots and delivering 90 hits in 59 outings. The Vegas blue line will also remain without Shea Theodore (undisclosed) on Tuesday. He will miss a seventh consecutive game.

Zach Whitecloud A Game-Time Call Tuesday

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud (lower body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Tuesday's clash with Nashville. He's missed nearly two months of action, going down with a lower-body injury on Dec. 11 against Boston. Whitecloud skated in 30 games before his injury, recording six points, 26 shots, 50 hits and 56 blocks. He plays a marginal role in fantasy hockey but is an important piece for Vegas, and Whitecloud's return means that the Golden Knights finally have all of their top six defensemen back healthy again.

Zach Whitecloud Out Month-To-Month

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud (lower body) isn't expected to return anytime soon. The team moved him to Injured Reserve on Monday and it was now announced that Whitecloud is considered month-to-month. He injured his right leg in Sunday's game against Boston when Taylor Hall landed on him. The 26-year-old is a big presence in the defensive zone, having tallied 50 hits and 56 blocks in 30 games this season, and he's also put in some work on the offensive end with one goal and five assists. Due to a number of injuries, Whitecloud has been regularly logging 20-plus minutes a night lately, but the team will now have to look for alternative options.

Zach Whitecloud Goes Down With Injury

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud left Sunday's matchup against the Bruins with an undisclosed injury. He was hurt in the second period when Boston's Taylor Hall awkwardly landed on his right leg. It looked like a very bad injury and Zach Whitecloud needed help to get off the ice. The team hopes to provide an update on his status Monday. Whitecloud's absence would be another bad blow for Vegas defensively, as Alex Pietrangelo (personal) hasn't played at all this month and Shea Theodore (leg) also sat out Sunday's contest.

Zach Whitecloud Strikes Twice On Sunday

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud found the back of the net twice on Sunday night. His goals helped Vegas defeat the Minnesota Wild 6-4 in a back and forth affair. Whitecloud also has five shots on goal, four scoring chances, and three blocked shots. The defenseman snapped a four game point drought in a big way. Whitecloud now has five goals in 15 games. One of the main gripes from Pete DeBoer is that the defenseman does not shoot enough. When he does, results follow. This was only the third time Whitecloud played 20+ minutes this season. Maybe that needs to happen more often.

Zach Whitecloud Scores Short-handed Goal On Wednesday

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud scored on the penalty kill on Wednesday night versus the Anaheim Ducks. Whitecloud and Mattias Janmark combined for quite the play with just a dozen seconds remaining in the second period. It was the defenseman's third goal of the season. Whitecloud played just under 18 minutes on Wednesday night while racking up three shots, two hits, and three blocked shots. He also was on the ice for 2:54 when it came to killing penalties. Whitecloud, more and more, is starting to become the younger version of Alec Martinez on the roster.

Zach Whitecloud Returns To Action With Two Goals

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud reintroduced himself with a two-goal effort in Thursday's 5-2 victory over Detroit. The 24-year-old was back in the lineup for the first time since Oct. 22 after recovering from hand surgery. He replaced Shea Theodore in the lineup and scored at key moments in the second period, with his second marker of the night ending up as the game-winner. Whitecloud logged nearly 21 minutes of action and finished with a plus-two rating, two shots, two blocks and three hits. He now has three points in five games for the campaign with 10 shots, 13 hits and 14 blocks.

Zach Whitecloud Considered Week-To-Week

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud (lower body) will miss Sunday's home game against the Islanders and is considered week-to-week. The 24-year-old got injured in Friday's 5-3 loss to Edmonton while blocking a shot. He picked up his first point of the season in the game with an assist and has recorded eight shots so far with 10 hits and 12 blocks. With Alec Martinez (undisclosed) also still unavailable, the Golden Knights suddenly are missing a lot of quality at both ends of the ice. Max Pacioretty (lower body) is set to miss multiple weeks and Mark Stone (lower body) remains out as well.

Zach Whitecloud Injured In Latest Vegas Loss

Las Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud (hand) has been one of those hidden fantasy gems in fantasy hockey. The defender was injured in the second period of Friday night's loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The defenseman had two blocked shots and an assist on the night. When he blocked the second shot of the night, no one expected a hand injury. There is the concern that the hand could be broken. When a coach knowingly said it does not look good, that concern rises to alarm. Whitecloud is likely to be out for weeks, which is a blow for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.
