Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Parker Wotherspoon sidelined week-to-week

The Vegas Golden Knights have announced that defenseman Parker Wotherspoon will be sidelined week-to-week due to an upper-body injury. Wotherspoon played through the injury during the team’s recent 2-1 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Kings.

In addition to Wotherspoon, forward Victor Olofsson has also been placed on injured reserve and is considered week-to-week. To address the defensive depth, the Golden Knights have recalled Ville Heinola from the AHL. Heinola and Jeremy Lauzon are expected to see expanded ice time in the absence of Wotherspoon.
