The Vegas Golden Knights' playoff hopes have taken a major hit on Friday afternoon as according to ESPN's Emily Kaplan, goaltender Robin Lehner will have season-ending surgery on his knee. Lehner initially suffered the injury in early-March, but he was able to make a return on April 3rd.

"Robin Lehner is getting season ending surgery, sources told ESPN.

Lehner had battled back from a major knee injury he sustained in Philadelphia on March 8. He gave it all he could but his body finally gave out." Kaplan said in a tweet.

Lehner, 30, appeared in 44 games this season for the Vegas Golden Knights where he had a record of 23-17-2, a 2.83 GAA, a .907 save percentage, and one shutout.

Vegas has four games remaining in the 2021-22 season and sit two points back of the Dallas Stars for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference. Those two teams will meet in a game with massive playoff implications next Tuesday in Dallas.
