The question is on everyone’s lips in Las Vegas: is Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner’s season over?
While the ESPN network indicated that this was the case on Friday, the head coach of the formation of Nevada Peter DeBoer, he said the opposite.
Injured in a game once morest the Philadelphia Flyers on March 8, Lehner tried everything to return to the game and help his club qualify for the playoffs. He got there following just over three weeks out, but he would have aggravated his injury on Wednesday once morest the Washington Capitals. He left the game following 20 minutes, having surrendered only once in 13 shots.
“Not to my knowledge, simply replied the Golden Knights coach, according to comments taken up by the “Las Vegas Journal-Review”, when questioned as to whether the rumors were true. It was a day of treatments. I expect it to be practice [samedi] and I expect him to be in uniform on Sunday.”
Lehner is 23-17-2 with a 2.83 goals- once morest average and .907 save percentage in 44 games this season. If he is absent, Logan Thompson and Laurent Brossoit should be DeBoer’s masked men.
The Knights are two points behind the Stars and a playoff berth. They will also be in Dallas next Tuesday.
