WASHINGTON — Golden Knights center Paul Stastny will not play Wednesday against the Washington Capitals and has been ruled out for the remainder of the road trip with a lower-body injury.
Center Cody Eakin is set to make his season debut for the Knights when they face the Capitals at 5 p.m. at Capital One Arena in a rematch of last season’s Stanley Cup Final. Eakin started the season on injured reserve with a lower-body injury.
Stastny will miss the Knights’ final two games of the trip at Pittsburgh on Thursday and at Philadelphia on Saturday. Knights coach Gerard Gallant said Stastny will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Las Vegas.
