Jeremy Lauzon Injury: Acquired by Vegas on Sunday

The Golden Knights traded for Lauzon (lower body) and Colton Sissons (lower body) from the Predators on Sunday in exchange for Nicolas Hague and a conditional 2027 third-round selection, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

Lauzon missed the last 44 games of the season in 2024-25 due to his lower-body injury, but Vegas trading for him could signal that the 28-year-old blueliner will be ready for the 2025-26 campaign. In his 28 appearances with the Preds, Lauzon notched just one assist, 37 PIM, 127 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. The 28-year-old is only two years removed from recording 388 hits, so he should provide a physical presence in a bottom-four role with Vegas when he's healthy. The Quebec native will be an unrestricted free agent after next season.
