WASHINGTON — Vegas Golden Knights centre Paul Stastny will miss at least three games with an undisclosed lower-body injury.

Coach Gerard Gallant on ruled out Stastny for games Wednesday night at the Capitals, Thursday night at the Penguins and Saturday afternoon at the Flyers. Gallant says Stastny was injured Monday in Buffalo.

Here is where Paul Stastny likely got hurt last night, which has caused him to be questionable tomorrow. Final minutes of the game, got his legs taken out from under home. (See next tweet for reaction). #VegasBorn pic.twitter.com/qTEE9KrqD1

Gallant said Wednesday morning Stastny would be re-evaluated when the Golden Knights return to Las Vegas this weekend after their road trip. Cody Eakin is expected to make his season debut against defending champion Washington in a rematch of last season’s Stanley Cup Final.

Vegas signed the 32-year-old Stastny to a $19.5 million, three-year contract in the off-season after he had 15 points in 17 playoff games with the Winnipeg Jets last spring.
