Will Knights’ Nicolas Hague play against Stars in Game 7?

Nicolas Hague, defenseman for the Vegas Golden Knights, will not be available for Game 7 against the Dallas Stars. Hague is dealing with a lower-body injury, which has officially classified him as day-to-day.

Hague’s absence is significant for the Golden Knights’ defensive lineup. His physical play, shot-blocking abilities, and defensive awareness have been valuable throughout the season. Without him, the Golden Knights will need other defensemen to step up and fill the void.

What defensive adjustments will the Knights do to avoid any problems?

Coach Peter DeBoer will need to make adjustments to the defensive pairings. Players like Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore will likely take on increased responsibilities. The team must maintain strong defensive discipline and limit the Stars’ scoring chances.

In a winner-takes-all Game 7, every player’s contribution matters. The Golden Knights will miss Hague’s presence and fans will watch closely to see how the Golden Knights adapt without him on the team. It’s a high-stakes showdown, and both teams will leave everything on the ice
