Status report
Lehner will make his fourth straight start and 10th in 11 games; Brossoit likely will start at the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. … The Golden Knights are expected to dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 5-1 win at the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. ... Drouin practiced Friday and will be a game-time decision; he missed one game after he was hit in the head with a shot by Kulak during a 3-0 win against Detroit on Tuesday. ... Paquette returns after serving a two-game suspension from the NHL Department of Player Safety for boarding Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras on Oct. 31. ... Edmundson was on the ice following the morning skate. The defenseman missed training camp and has yet to play this season.
