Vegas Golden Knights forward Max Pacioretty is week-to-week with a fractured foot, head coach Peter DeBoer said Saturday.
Sportsnet, however, reported Pacioretty could be sidelined as many as six weeks after blocking a shot with his skate in Thursday’s 6-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings.
“Blocked an innocent looking shot. Just one of those things,” DeBoer said Saturday.
Pacioretty, 32, collected two goals and an assist in Vegas’ 4-3 win over the expansion Seattle Kraken in Tuesday’s season opener. He was held off the scoresheet versus the Kings.
Pacioretty has 306 goals and 608 points in 813 NHL regular-season games with the Montreal Canadiens (2008-18) and Golden Knights.
