Parker Wotherspoon is expected back in the Vegas Golden Knights’ lineup Wednesday against the Utah Mammoth after missing 13 games with an upper-body injury. He took part in Tuesday’s practice in a regular jersey. NHL.com’s projected lineup has him paired with Dylan Coghlan.

Vegas coach Ryan Craig said Tuesday that defenceman Noah Hanifin is out week to week with an undisclosed injury. Hanifin left Sunday’s 4–1 win in Buffalo in the third period after a hit along the boards. He has two goals and four assists in 19 games this season.
