Golden Knights currently aren't carrying extra skaters. By then it may be different. Even when healthy, they were going with the dressed guys only, no spare parts. I think it was salary cap mgmt.

Vegas has 23 on their roster right now. Eakin, Glass, and Marchessault have never been placed on IR, so they still take up a spot, as do the 20 they dressed last game. If one of them is still out by the time MAF is serving his suspension, they can be moved to IR to free up a spot. If those 3 are healthy, Glass, Hague, or Roy can be sent down without having to waive a player, so in this specific instance it's no big deal. I was thinking more about that whatever the NHL does will be the precedent for goalies going forward, and roster space may sometimes be a concern.
