Las Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Rasmus Andersson remains questionable for tonight's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and fans are left wondering.
Rasmus Andersson is the newest addition to the Las Vegas Golden Knights, although he is currently going through some issues right now.
As we reported last night, Andersson is dealing with some pretty serious immigration problems that have kept him off the ice for the last week.
Tonight, the Golden Knights are in Toronto to take on the Leafs, and it just so happens to be Marner's grand return to the city.
This is going to be a massive game, although there have been some concerns about whether or not Andersson will be ready in time to play.
Bruce Cassidy with a Rasmus Andersson update
Last night, the Golden Knights were playing against the Boston Bruins, and as it turns out, Andersson was with the team, just not on the ice.
After the game, Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy offered an update on the situation, noting that Andersson is still dealing with immigration, but there is a chance he will play on Friday.
Of course, getting Andersson back would be a huge advantage for the Golden Knights, who are looking to sweep the season series against the Leafs.
A win tonight would be a tough pill to swallow for Toronto, who want revenge on Mitch Marner. They are also hoping to make the playoffs, and losses make that a lot more difficult.
This is all very stressful for everyone involved, and only time will tell how it all ends up over the next few hours.
If one thing is for certain, it is that the Maple Leafs will be secretly hoping for Andersson to miss this one.
