With so many fans not wearing a COVID-19 mandated mask at Golden Knights games at T-Mobile Arena, you would think the coronavirus is on the way out.
Unfortunately for the Vegas Golden Knights, forwards Jonathan Marchessault and William Carrier are in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol and will not be playing in Tuesday’s VGK vs Carolina game in Las Vegas.

But Lehner has tested negative for COVID-19 and is available to play tonight.
