Between injuries and bankruptcy, Robin Lehner has had a frustrating couple of years. Updates about his health have been sparse, and a recent revelation indicates that he might not be returning to the ice anytime soon. The Vegas Golden Knights have omitted him from their training camp roster.

Not Listed = Not Good

Typically, even injured players remain on the roster and are later move to IR or LTIR. The fact that Lehner's name is completely absent suggests a significant delay in his recovery. If he misses another season, this might spell the end of his NHL career.

Vegas Remains Strong Between The Pipes

Lehner first emerged as a leading goalie with the New York Islanders before advancing his career in Vegas. Fortunately, Logan Thompson had an impressive rookie season in 2022-23, playing 37 games and boasting a 2.65 GAA with a 0.915 SV%. We also can't forget that Adin Hill stole the show on the road to the team's first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Lehner's return, the Stanley Cup Champions seem well-positioned with their current goalies. All eyes will be on Logan Thompson as he embarks on his second season as the primary starter, with anticipation about how he'll build on his remarkable rookie performance.
