Robin Lehner leaves the Golden Knights in the midst of a playoff push!

The Vegas Golden Knights are in Edmonton to play the Oilers tomorrow afternoon. Goalie Robin Lehner had to return to Vegas because of a family member's illness.

His return to the squad is urgently needed by the Golden Knights if they want to have a chance at the Stanley Cup.

On Friday, the Knights brought up AHL goalie Jiri Patera. Logan Thompson started the Knights' season-defining game against Calgary on Thursday night and made 35 saves in a 6-1 victory.
