The Golden Knights recalled forwards Peyton Krebs and Jake Leschyshyn from the American Hockey League on Tuesday.

The injury-riddled Knights host St. Louis on Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena after a five-day break.

Krebs registered five points in two games with the Silver Knights after appearing in the first two games with the Golden Knights. The 2019 first-round pick could see significant ice time while leading scorers Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty are out of the lineup with injuries.

Leschyshyn made his NHL debut in a 6-2 loss to Los Angeles on Thursday centering the fourth line. He had a good scoring chance in the first period that was turned away and finished with three hits while winning five of his 11 faceoffs.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
