Cormier (undisclosed) will begin the 2026-27 regular season on the injured non-roster list, per SinBin.vegas.
Cormier was a limited participant throughout the Golden Knights' training camp before he ultimately appeared on injured reserve Tuesday. The 24-year-old blueliner wore a red non-contact jersey when he did skate, and his placement on IR will keep him out of action for at least the next seven days. He was highly effective with AHL Henderson in 2025-26, where he compiled eight goals and 47 points across 49 regular-season games. He should be involved with the Silver Knights in a similar role once he's healthy this season.

Golden Knights' Lukas Cormier: Inks one-year deal
Rotowire
Cormier signed a one-year contract with the Golden Knights on Monday.
Per PuckPedia, it's a two-way deal. Cormier earned his newest contract after the strongest offensive campaign of his AHL career. Across 49 regular-season games with AHL Henderson, the 24-year-old blueliner compiled eight goals, 39 assists and 121 shots on net. He produced when it mattered as well, adding five points in six postseason appearances. While he's yet to see consistent minutes at the NHL level, he'll return to Vegas' system as one of the top options for a call-up if the Golden Knights run into injury problems. He has one assist in two career NHL games, with both appearances coming in the 2023-24 regular season.

Golden Knights' Lukas Cormier: Racks up three points
Rotowire
Cormier scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in AHL Henderson's 5-2 win over San Diego on Saturday.
Cormier has four points in six games after this big performance. The 23-year-old blueliner didn't get the call-up when Noah Hanifin (lower body) landed on injured reserve, likely because Cormier wouldn't have been guaranteed ice time in the NHL. Expect Cormier to spend most of 2025-26 in the AHL as the Golden Knights look for him to improve on the nine assists he had in 19 regular-season outings last year. He missed most of that campaign due to an undisclosed injury.

Golden Knights' Lukas Cormier: Helper in NHL debut
Rotowire
Cormier notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Cormier made his NHL debut Saturday, logging 19:46 of ice time. His first point was on Jack Eichel's tally just 31 seconds into the third period, which stretched the Golden Knights' lead to 4-1. With injuries mounting on the blue line, Cormier may have a chance to show his progress after a mediocre training camp. He was paired alongside Brayden McNabb in a top-four role Saturday, though Cormier may have to eventually settle for third-pairing minutes.
