The Vegas Golden Knights added forward William Karlsson to the team's injured reserve list Tuesday.

Karlsson has not practiced since the third day of training camp with an undisclosed injury. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said last week that the forward was skating by himself, but has yet to rejoin the team on the ice.

Ahead of their upcoming season opener, the Golden Knights also sent Brendan Brisson to the Henderson Silver Knights.

The Knights will open the season Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche at 7 p.m. You can watch the game on TNT.
