The 21-year-old forward left practice Friday after being hit in the right foot with a shot. General manager Ron Hextall did not have an update on his condition after practice.
The Golden Knights enter the final game of a five-game road trip having lost their past three. They did not lose more than three straight games at any point last regular season.

Players to watch

Golden Knights forward William Karlsson has four assists during a three-game point streak.
Flyers forward Scott Laughton has three goals in four games. He scored 10 goals in 81 games last season.

They said it

"We've got a good hockey team. We're playing OK. We're not playing well enough to win. We'll get over it, it's early in the season. We've got to make sure we put our head down and keep working hard." -- Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant
"You're not working in the board battles down low with their top guys, you're up at the wing. Once we get the puck we have a lot of leeway to take off and get going. I've enjoyed it there."-- Flyers forward Scott Laughton on his move from center to left wing

That includes a 5-2 loss to the Flyers at T-Mobile Arena on Oct. 4. … Voracek had an NHL career-best five points (two goals, three assists) in the Flyers' 7-4 win against the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday.
