Saad did not play in the Golden Knights' most recent game, but he will return to the lineup on Tuesday against his former team, the Chicago Blackhawks. The 33-year-old Saad has four points (1G / 3A) in 24 games this season.
Saad was signed mid-season after being bought out by the Blues and had 14 points (6G / 8A) in 29 games with the Golden Knights. At $2.0M AAV, Saad is a cheap middle-6 winger that can still provide some offence, having averaged 40 points (21G / 19A) per 82 games over the last three seasons.
Saad was placed on waivers by the St. Louis Blues earlier this week for the purpose of contract termination. The 32-year-old forward has signed with the Golden Knights, looking for a chance at another Stanley Cup championship. He has 16 points (7G / 9A) in 43 games this season and had been held off the scoresheet in his final six games with the Blues.

Saad is expected to miss the Blues' first road trip of the season as he awaits the birth of his third child and has been placed on the Injured/Non-Roster list to begin 2024-25. The Blues will hope to have their veteran 31-year-old left-winger back soon after he finished 2023-24 fourth in team goals (26) and fifth in points (42).
Saad and his wife are expecting their third child right around the time of the Blues' first road trip of the season. In Monday's practice, he skated on the "fifth line," an indication that the Blues are preparing to be without the veteran winger when their season starts on October 8th. While Saad is out, Zack Bolduc is expected to skate in the top-6, and his strong preseason could make Saad more of a bottom-6 option this season.
