Vegas Golden Knights defenceman Shea Theodore will return to the team on Tuesday to face the Nashville Predators, marking his first game in three months.
The Golden Knights confirmed Theodore's return with a social-media post.
The 28-year-old has not played since Vegas beat San Jose on Nov. 22, suffering an upper-body injury that eventually required surgery.
The native of Aldergrove, B.C., has four goals and 14 assists in 20 games this season and was a staple on the first power-play unit for Vegas, which is 32-17-6 and in second place in the competitive Pacific Division.
Theodore helped the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup last season.
Watch the Golden Knights-Predators game at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT on Sportsnet ONE or Sportsnet+.
