Vegas Golden Knights sniper Max Pacioretty will miss significant time with a lower-body injury, according to The Athletic's Jesse Granger.
The ailment, which Pacioretty suffered in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Kings, is expected to keep him out for approximately six weeks, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
Pacioretty is the latest Golden Knight to go down, as the team is dealing with a litany of injuries up front.
