Yesterday, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SinBinVegas\/status\/2026372704421687555\" rel=\"nofollow\">Jason R. Pothier and Ken Boehlke of SinBin.vegas reported<\/a> that forwards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/sissoco01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Colton Sissons<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/saadbr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brandon Saad<\/a> have been activated off the team\u2019s injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the two mentioned, the Golden Knights\u2019 lineup has welcomed back defenseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/mcnabbr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brayden McNabb<\/a>, who was activated from long-term injured reserve, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PuckPedia\/status\/2026490702251888706?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">according to PuckPedia<\/a>. Additionally, the team has placed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hartca01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Carter Hart<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/howdebr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brett Howden<\/a> on LTIR, creating $3.1MM in salary cap space leading up to the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>The return of Sissons and Saad won\u2019t be incredibly impactful in a vacuum, though they should help improve the team\u2019s depth moving forward. Sissons, 32, has scored three goals and six points in 41 games this season, whereas Saad, 33, has registered two goals and seven points in 39 games. Each veteran will become an unrestricted free agent next summer, assuming they don\u2019t sign a contract extension with the Golden Knights.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, McNabb\u2019s return will allow Vegas to see how the team\u2019s defensive core operates since acquiring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/a\/anderra01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rasmus Andersson<\/a>. Barring something surprising, it\u2019ll be the first time the Golden Knights have been able to deploy their best defensemen since trading for Andersson.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be interesting to see how Vegas utilizes McNabb with Andersson in the fold. A defensive stalwart for many years, McNabb has seemingly taken a step back in that category this season. Before going down with an upper-body injury on December 31st, McNabb was averaging an 89.0% on-ice SV% at even strength, the lowest mark of his career. Still, he remains a capable shot-blocker and will provide more value down the lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Vegas Golden Knights are inching toward a healthy roster.
