It&#8217;s not known how the Swedish goalie was hurt, but head coach Peter DeBoer said it&#8217;s unrelated to his 0ff-season surgery.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old has a 19-13-1 record and a 2.86 goals-against-average with a .907 save percentage. Lehner got one shutout this season on Jan. 24 against the Washington Capitals.<\/p>\n<p>He has played for the Ottawa Senators, Buffalo Sabres, New York Islanders, Chicago Blackhawks and Vegas. The Gothenburg, Sweden native has a 148-137-48 record with a 2.71 goals-against-average with a .917 save percentage. Ottawa drafted Lehner in the second round, 46th overall of the 2009 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>He won the Jennings Trophy twice and the Bill Masteron Trophy in 2019. Lehner also won the Calder Cup as a member of the AHL Binghamton Senators in 2011.<\/p>\n<h3>What it Means<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/thomplo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Logan Thompson<\/a> was called up from the Henderson Silver Knights of the AHL to back up Brossoit. That&#8217;s the immediate solving of the goalie issue. However, it&#8217;s opened up speculation about the return of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/f\/fleurma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marc-Andre Fleury<\/a>. The pair won the Jennings in 2021, but Fleury was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks.<\/p>\n<p>General manager Kelly McCrimmon quickly shut down any speculation of Fleury returning to Vegas. Fleury got unceremoniously dumped to the Blackhawks last off-season.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday&#8217;s game will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/e\/eicheja01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jack Eichel<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/02\/14\/mark-stone-ltir-jack-eichel-returns\/\" target=\"_self\">debut with the team<\/a>. However, Lehner being gone will cause a major headache. There&#8217;s uncertainty if Lehner&#8217;s shoulder will hold up for the rest of the season. Brossoit has played well, but it&#8217;s uncertain if he can shoulder the load for a long period of time.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"px4mYyasRlBU0x1KNR52qw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1238310369\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'px4mYyasRlBU0x1KNR52qw',sig:'yooUAxJLK_3MaLArQ2B8fM0nmUWerr3tOS7t90FBYd4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1238310369',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vegas Golden Knights announced that goaltender Robin Lehner is dealing an upper-body injury.
