The Vegas Golden Knights will begin their third-round series without winger William Carrier, as the depth forward is set to miss Game 1 of his club’s series against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.

Head coach Gerard Gallant broke the news of Carrier’s status, according to Sportsnet’s Irfaan Gaffar.

Gerrard Gallant says William Carrier is out for game one. Will have to see what the lines are like in warmup.

Carrier has played in nine post-season games for Vegas in these playoffs, seeing limited minutes for the expansion side. He has zero points through those nine games so far, averaging just 7:59 minutes of ice time.

The former Buffalo Sabre travelled with the team to Winnipeg after missing Game 6 of Vegas’ series against the San Jose Sharks, but remains out with an undisclosed injury.
