Report: Robin Lehner is furious with the Golden Knights

"So this is what we can tell you," said Friedman on Saturday night's NHL broadcast. "There were 2 reports yesterday that he's out for the rest of the year and having surgery, and I had heard the same rumors. Vegas has disputed that and today when he didn't practice they said that they were hopeful that he would play tomorrow night or be in the lineup tomorrow night. Nobody's talking but this is the best I can piece together. I think what's happened is Lehner, who's playing hurt, was upset at some of the criticism he was receiving and also being pulled the other night and I believed he informed the Golden Knights on Thursday night that he was going to have surgery and shut it down."

"I think in the last 24 to 48 hours there have been conversations between Lehner, the team, his agents, and just everybody involved trying to see if there was a solution to all this that would have him in the lineup," said Friedman. "I guess we're gonna find out tomorrow night and we'll see for sure where all this is going but that's the best information that I can piece together for you today."
