Fri Mar 21 01:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Bruins and Golden Knights Set for Showdown with Key Injury Updates
**Las Vegas, NV** – The Boston Bruins and Vegas Golden Knights are set to clash tonight, but both teams face lineup uncertainty due to injuries. The Bruins will likely field the same 18 skaters who lost to the Buffalo Sabres on Monday, with Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Hampus Lindholm (knee) remaining sidelined.
The Golden Knights situation is more fluid. While William Karlsson, returning from a lower-body injury that kept him out for 20 games, is a game-time decision. If he plays, he’ll slot onto the third line. Should he be unavailable, either Ben Hutton or Victor Olofsson will fill the roster spot. Defenseman Shea Theodore, though a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, will miss his 12th consecutive game due to an upper-body injury. Raphael Lavoie is also out for Vegas with an upper-body injury.
Both teams are expected to bring their A-game despite the injury concerns, promising a high-stakes matchup.
