Forward Max Pacioretty didn’t play for the Golden Knights against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena.
The left winger, who had 13 points in the team’s previous 10 games, left practice early Monday and didn’t participate in the Knights’ morning skate Tuesday morning.
Coach Gerard Gallant said the 30-year-old “wasn’t feeling well.” Gallant declined to elaborate on whether that meant illness or injury.
Oscar Lindberg replaced Pacioretty on the second line alongside Cody Eakin and Alex Tuch.
The Knights are without Erik Haula and Paul Stastny with long-term injuries, but Gallant said the team is capable of patching up the holes.
