Cormier signed a one-year contract with the Golden Knights on Monday.
Per PuckPedia, it's a two-way deal. Cormier earned his newest contract after the strongest offensive campaign of his AHL career. Across 49 regular-season games with AHL Henderson, the 24-year-old blueliner compiled eight goals, 39 assists and 121 shots on net. He produced when it mattered as well, adding five points in six postseason appearances. While he's yet to see consistent minutes at the NHL level, he'll return to Vegas' system as one of the top options for a call-up if the Golden Knights run into injury problems. He has one assist in two career NHL games, with both appearances coming in the 2023-24 regular season.

Golden Knights' Lukas Cormier: Generates three assists
Rotowire
Cormier notched three assists in AHL Henderson's 7-4 loss to Bakersfield on Saturday.
Cormier is up to four goals and 13 assists over 18 games this season, though he's picked up the pace with a goal and seven helpers over his last six outings. The defenseman's strong play comes at a good time, as the Golden Knights have just six healthy blueliners on the NHL roster. They start a road trip Friday, and they may be interested in calling up a defenseman, likely Cormier or Dylan Coghlan, to provide emergency depth if Jeremy Lauzon (undisclosed) remains out.

Golden Knights' Lukas Cormier: Racks up three points
Rotowire
Cormier scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in AHL Henderson's 5-2 win over San Diego on Saturday.
Cormier has four points in six games after this big performance. The 23-year-old blueliner didn't get the call-up when Noah Hanifin (lower body) landed on injured reserve, likely because Cormier wouldn't have been guaranteed ice time in the NHL. Expect Cormier to spend most of 2025-26 in the AHL as the Golden Knights look for him to improve on the nine assists he had in 19 regular-season outings last year. He missed most of that campaign due to an undisclosed injury.
