Vegas Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant said forward Erik Haula will miss at least three games after suffering an apparent leg injury in Tuesday night's loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Haula will travel with the team for the remainder of its road trip, and a status update is expected soon, Gallant added.
The initial prognosis could be considered positive for the Golden Knights, as Haula was stretchered off the ice in considerable pain after taking a hit from Patrick Marleau.
