DENVER — Deryk Engelland missed his second game of the season Saturday.
Whether the Golden Knights defenseman is injured or was simply being rested before the playoffs, only the team knows.
“No update right now,” coach Gerard Gallant said following the Knights’ 2-1 shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche.
Engelland played Thursday at San Jose, but did not practice with the team Friday in Colorado.
He was replaced by Brad Hunt, who skated with Jon Merrill. Colin Miller moved into Engelland’s normal spot on the blue line alongside Shea Theodore.
Hunt was credited with seven shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in 14:28 of ice time.
