Golden Knights lose Stastny to injury

Vegas Golden Knights centre Paul Stastny will miss at least three games with an undisclosed lower-body injury. Coach Gerard Gallant said Stastny was injured Monday in Buffalo and will be re-evaluated when the Golden Knights return to Las Vegas this weekend after their road trip. Cody Eakin is expected to make his season debut against defending champion Washington in a rematch of last season’s Stanley Cup final. Vegas signed the 32-year-old Stastny to a US$19.5million, three-year contract in the off-season after he had 15 points in 17 playoff games with the Winnipeg Jets last spring.
