The Vegas Golden Knights are set to keep forward Nicolas Roy in their lineup after the NHL opted not to suspend him following a controversial hit in Game 2 against the Edmonton Oilers. Roy was penalized for hitting Oilers' Trent Frederic in the face, but the league only issued a fine of $7,813, the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement. Despite the incident, the Oilers couldn't capitalize on the five-minute power play that followed Roy's penalty, ultimately winning the game with a goal from Leon Draisaitl.

The Golden Knights faced additional misfortune in Game 2, as a potential tripping call on Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson went unpunished, leading to further frustrations for Vegas. Captain Mark Stone highlighted the missed call, expressing his discontent with the officiating. The Golden Knights are now focused on bouncing back as they continue to vie for a crucial postseason series victory.
