The Golden Knights will be missing one of their more consistent players for Saturday’s game against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place.

Center Nicolas Roy has a lower-body injury and won’t play against the Oilers. He’s ninth on the team in scoring with 11 points in 18 games. He’s one of nine Knights players with more than 10 points. Only Los Angeles has the same level of depth in scoring.

Coach Bruce Cassidy has leaned on Roy’s line throughout the season, often starting the group no matter the opponent. Center Michael Amadio will enter the lineup on the third line with Roy coming out. Center Brett Howden will move down to Roy’s spot on the fourth line between left wing William Carrier and right wing Keegan Kolesar.

Roy is only the fourth non-healthy scratch the Knights have made this season. Carrier missed one game with a mid-body injury, and Kolesar sat out two with an illness.

The Knights will start goaltender Adin Hill against the Oilers as they look to improve their 8-1 road record. Hill won his first five starts but lost his last game against the St. Louis Blues on Nov. 12.

The 26-year-old will need to be on his game against Edmonton’s stars. Center Connor McDavid leads the NHL in goals (15) and points (32). Center Leon Draisaitl is tied for second in the league in points (28). Those two are a key reason why the Oilers have the NHL’s second-best power play at 31.7 percent.
