Hutton notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks.
Hutton set up a Jonathan Marchessault tally in the second period to tie the game at 1-1. While he's listed on the top pairing, Hutton saw just 15:13 of ice time in this contest. If Kaedan Korczak's lower-body injury costs him time, Hutton could see his minutes rise again going forward. Through 23 outings this season, Hutton has five points, 41 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a plus-6 rating.

Golden Knights' Alex Pietrangelo: Nabs power-play helper
Rotowire
Pietrangelo recorded a power-play assist and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks.
Pietrangelo has gotten himself back on track with four helpers over his last six games. Three of those assists have come on the power play as he quarterbacks the first unit with Shea Theodore (upper body) sidelined. Overall, Pietrangelo has 13 points (five on the power play) with 56 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 24 contests. He can play at a slightly higher level than we've seen, but as Vegas' top defenseman, his priority will always be on protecting his own zone first and chipping in offense when he can.

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Tallies in shootout win
Rotowire
McNabb scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks.
McNabb is on a three-game point streak (one goal, two assists) after finding twine Sunday. The 32-year-old defenseman continues to play at the upper limit of his scoring abilities this year, racking up two goals, 11 points, 31 shots on net and a plus-13 rating through 29 appearances. He's added 36 hits and 92 blocked shots while remaining in his usual second-pairing role for Vegas. McNabb's current hot stretch is unlikely to last much longer given his low-offense playing style.

Golden Knights' Chandler Stephenson: Pair of points Sunday
Rotowire
Stephenson scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks.
Stephenson snapped a 20-game goal drought Saturday, and now he's found twine in consecutive games. He has four points over his last three outings on the heels of a six-game drought. Fantasy managers have likely been low on patience with Stephenson, who has come nowhere near the reliable 60-point pace he established over the last two campaigns. He's at 15 points, 30 shots on net, 17 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 25 appearances in 2023-24. A low shot rate isn't helping his cause much, but there's reason to be optimistic he can turn things around with his current warm stretch.

Rotowire
Korczak sustained a lower-body injury late in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks, but he appeared to be moving well in the locker room after the contest, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Rotowire
Patera stopped 35 of 39 shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Sharks.
Patera allowed a goal in the opening minute, and then blew a two-goal lead late in the third period. The 24-year-old still emerged with the win, stopping two shootout attempts to secure his first NHL victory of the season and the third of his career in as many starts. Patera will continue to hold down the backup role while Adin Hill (lower body) is out of action, but he may not play next week, as the Golden Knights don't have a back-to-back scheduled.

Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Snags helper in victory
Rotowire
Howden posted an assist in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Stars.
Howden hadn't earned an assist since Nov. 17. The 25-year-old forward has been an occasional contributor on offense, but he's also gone four games without a hit -- physicality is a noticeable part of his game. Howden has seven points, 30 shots on net, 24 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 26 contests. With modest production across the board, he's best left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.
