Golden Knights' Stastny out up to 2 months with lower-body injury

Vegas Golden Knights center Paul Stastny could be sidelined for the next two months, head coach Gerard Gallant announced Monday.

Stastny suffered a lower-body injury against the Buffalo Sabres last Monday. He was held out of the lineup for Vegas' past three games.

The veteran forward inked a three-year, $19.5-million deal with the Golden Knights in free agency. He hasn't registered a point through three appearances this season.
