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.

Golden Knights' Lukas Cormier: Helper in NHL debut
Rotowire
Cormier notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Cormier made his NHL debut Saturday, logging 19:46 of ice time. His first point was on Jack Eichel's tally just 31 seconds into the third period, which stretched the Golden Knights' lead to 4-1. With injuries mounting on the blue line, Cormier may have a chance to show his progress after a mediocre training camp. He was paired alongside Brayden McNabb in a top-four role Saturday, though Cormier may have to eventually settle for third-pairing minutes.
