Date News Advice
April 16, 2024 Pachal scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks. - Pachal broke up Thatcher Demko's shutout bid midway through the third period. The defenseman has two points over his last three games, but Pachal has struggled to generate consistent offense even with more playing time as a Flame. For the season, he has two goals, seven points, 51 shots on net, 130 hits, 63 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 49 appearances between Calgary and Vegas. None
April 12, 2024 Pachal notched a shorthanded assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 6-3 win over the Ducks. - Pachal set up an Andrew Mangiapane tally in the first period. The helper ended a nine-game slump for Pachal, who has seen steady usage on the third pairing with the Flames. The 24-year-old defenseman has six points, 48 shots on net, 127 hits, 61 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 47 appearances between Calgary and Vegas this season. None
March 24, 2024 Pachal notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks. - Pachal set up Joel Hanley's tally late in the third period. The 24-year-old Pachal has a helper in three of the last five games while seeing consistent playing time on the Flames' third pairing. He's up to five points, 37 shots on net, 103 hits, 50 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 37 appearances between Calgary and Vegas this season. None
March 18, 2024 Pachal posted an assist, two blocked shots and four PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. - Pachal set up a Kevin Rooney tally in the second period. While Pachal has been limited to third-pairing minutes, he's been in the lineup regularly over the likes of Dennis Gilbert and Nikita Okhotyuk over the last couple of weeks. Pachal has four points, 36 shots on net, 102 hits, 49 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 36 appearances between the Flames and the Golden Knights this season. None
March 12, 2024 Pachal notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche. - The helper was Pachal's second point in 16 outings with the Flames. He has been a regular on their blue line since he was claimed off waivers from the Golden Knights. Pachal is up to three points, 31 shots on net, 94 hits, 43 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 33 appearances between the two teams this season. He'll likely continue to see third-pairing usage in Calgary. None
Feb. 25, 2024 Pachal recorded an assist and five hits in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Oilers. - The helper was Pachal's first point in nine games with the Flames. He has two points, 25 shots on net, 74 hits, 30 blocked shots, 24 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 26 outings when accounting for his time with the Golden Knights earlier in the campaign. Pachal has maintained a third-pairing spot over Dennis Gilbert and Jordan Oesterle for much of February, and there will likely be room for all of those blueliners if the Flames deal away Noah Hanifin and Chris Tanev at the deadline. None
Feb. 4, 2024 Pachal was claimed off waivers by the Flames on Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports. - Pachal was waived by the Golden Knights on Saturday, but he'll now have an opportunity to stick in the NHL with Calgary. The 24-year-old blueliner had a goal, 42 hits and 23 blocked shots in 17 games with Vegas. Pachal will likely compete with Jordan Oesterle for a spot as the Flames' seventh defenseman. None
Feb. 3, 2024 Pachal was put on waivers Saturday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. - Pachal has one goal, 18 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 42 hits over 17 NHL outings this season. The 24-year-old blueliner hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 4, so he could get some playing time with AHL Henderson if another team doesn't claim him. None
Jan. 27, 2024 Pachal has played in just four games since the start of December. - Pachal remains a stalwart among the healthy scratches for Vegas, which is still missing Shea Theodore (upper body), Ben Hutton (undisclosed), Daniil Miromanov (undisclosed) and Tobias Bjornfot (undisclosed) from the blue line. Once a couple of those defensemen return, Pachal will likely be waived, though he may stay on the roster longer than waivers-exempt Kaedan Korczak. None
Dec. 22, 2023 Pachal has played in just two of the Golden Knights' 10 games in December. - Aside from Shea Theodore (upper body), the Vegas defense is healthy, leaving Pachal in limbo as the seventh defenseman. The 24-year-old hasn't helped his own cause, failing to record a point in his last 13 contests. He has just one point, a goal, with 38 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 shots on net and 10 PIM through 15 appearances this season. None
Nov. 18, 2023 Pachal has been scratched for the last four games. - Pachal was a regular on the third pairing early in the campaign when the Golden Knights had injured defensemen, but they've been healthier of late. Nicolas Hague (lower body) is the only regular out of the lineup, but Ben Hutton has seemingly surpassed Pachal as the fill-in option. Until a spot opens up, expect Pachal to see a lot of time in the press box as a healthy scratch. None
Oct. 12, 2023 Pachal scored a goal on two shots, went plus-3, levied two hits and added two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sharks. - Pachal has gotten a chance to play on the third pairing with Alec Martinez (upper body) and Zach Whitecloud (upper body) on injured reserve to start the season. The goal was Pachal's first at the NHL level -- he produced two assists over 12 games across the previous two campaigns. The 24-year-old's stay with the big club may prove temporary once the Golden Knights get healthier on defense. None
June 28, 2023 Pachal, who was eligible to become a restricted free agent Saturday, inked a two-year, $1.55 million contract with Vegas on Wednesday. - Pachal had two assists in 10 games with Vegas in 2022-23. He also contributed three goals and 15 points in 55 AHL outings with Henderson. He'll compete for a third-pairing spot with the Golden Knights during training camp. None
April 16, 2023 Pachal was summoned from AHL Henderson on Saturday, according to CapFriendly. - Pachal earned two assists, 18 shots on goal, 12 blocked shots and 27 hits in 10 NHL outings during the 2022-23 season. He could be an extra defender for the Golden Knights in the playoffs. None
April 14, 2023 Pachal was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Friday, per CapFriendly. - Pachal tallied two assists in 10 games with the Golden Knights this season. He could rejoin the postseason roster. None
April 10, 2023 Pachal was summoned from AHL Henderson on Monday. - Pachal has chipped in two assists, 16 shots on goal and 24 hits in nine appearances with Vegas this season. He will be an option for Tuesday's contest against Seattle due to the absences of Shea Theodore (undisclosed) and Zach Whitecloud (lower body). None
April 8, 2023 Pachal was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Saturday, per CapFriendly. - Pachal didn't play versus the Stars on Saturday, and the Golden Knights don't play again until Tuesday. Pachal could be back up in the NHL if the team needs defensive depth for Tuesday's home finale versus the Kraken. None
April 6, 2023 Pachal was recalled from AHL Henderson on Thursday, per CapFriendly. - Pachal will likely be on hand as emergency defensive depth Thursday. He's unlikely to play against the Kings. None
April 5, 2023 Pachal was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - Pachal was a healthy scratch for the Golden Knights' last five games as emergency defensive depth. His return to the minors could be a sign Shea Theodore (undisclosed) might be ready to play Thursday against the Kings. None
March 29, 2023 Pachal was summoned by Vegas on Wednesday. - Pachal has three goals and 15 points in 55 AHL contests with Henderson in 2022-23. He's also recorded two assists, six PIM and 24 hits in nine outings with Vegas this season. Shea Theodore (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Thursday, and that's probably why the Golden Knights decided to call up Pachal. None
Jan. 20, 2023 Pachal was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Friday, per CapFriendly. - Pachal will likely be recalled again for Saturday's tilt with Washington. The 23-year-old has two assists in nine games with Vegas this season. None
Jan. 19, 2023 Pachal was called up from AHL Henderson on Thursday, per CapFriendly. - William Carrier (upper body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Jan. 3, 2023 Pachal was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Tuesday, per CapFriendly. - Pachal has two assists through seven games this season. He's been a fill-in with Shea Theodore (leg), Daniil Miromanov (lower body) and Alec Martinez (undisclosed) all out, but it's possible one of the Golden Knights' injured defensemen will be ready to play Thursday versus the Penguins. None
Dec. 27, 2022 Pachal was recalled from AHL Henderson on Tuesday, per the NHL media site. - Pachal will probably be back in the lineup Tuesday versus Los Angeles. He has one assist, six shots on goal, two blocks and seven hits in three appearances with Vegas this year. None

Dec. 15, 2022 Pachal logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks. - Pachal had the secondary helper on a Reilly Smith empty-net goal in the third period. This was Pachal's first point in four NHL contests across the last two years. He has contributed four shots on net, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in two outings this season. The 23-year-old will likely stay in the lineup until one of Alex Pietrangelo (personal) or Shea Theodore (leg) can return. None
Dec. 12, 2022 Pachal was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday. - Pachal will join the Golden Knights on the road and could get a chance to play. Zach Whitecloud (lower body) was hurt Sunday and moved to injured reserve Monday. Vegas is also missing defenders Shea Theodore (leg) and Alex Pietrangelo (personal), so Kaedan Korczak was recalled Monday as well. None
July 28, 2022 Pachal signed a one-year contract extension with the Golden Knights on Thursday. - Pachal spent most of the 2021-22 campaign in the minors, picking up 11 points through 65 games with AHL Henderson, but he also made two appearances with the big club, going scoreless over that span.

March 17, 2022 Pachal was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Thursday. - Pachal made his NHL debut Tuesday, going minus-1 in 10:31 of ice time. With the Golden Knights battling a number of injuries to defensemen, they signed veteran Derrick Pouliot on Thursday, and Pachal's move to the minors was to clear a roster spot. None
March 14, 2022 Pachal was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday. - Pachal saw a brief stint with Vegas in February but has yet to see any NHL action. The 22-year-old blueliner will likely be a healthy scratch Tuesday against the Jets. None

Feb. 1, 2022 Pachal was promoted from the taxi squad Tuesday. - Pachal would make his NHL debut if he gets into the lineup against the Sabres on Tuesday. The defenseman has just six points in 33 games with AHL Henderson, so he shouldn't be expected to make much of an impact if he plays. None

Pachal was waived by the Golden Knights on Saturday, but he'll now have an opportunity to stick in the NHL with Calgary. The 24-year-old blueliner had a goal, 42 hits and 23 blocked shots in 17 games with Vegas. Pachal will likely compete with Jordan Oesterle for a spot as the Flames' seventh defenseman.

2024-01-27 analysis Pachal remains a stalwart among the healthy scratches for Vegas, which is still missing Shea Theodore (upper body), Ben Hutton (undisclosed), Daniil Miromanov (undisclosed) and Tobias Bjornfot (undisclosed) from the blue line. Once a couple of those defensemen return, Pachal will likely be waived, though he may stay on the roster longer than waivers-exempt Kaedan Korczak.
2024-01-27 update Pachal has played in just four games since the start of December.
2023-12-22 analysis Aside from Shea Theodore (upper body), the Vegas defense is healthy, leaving Pachal in limbo as the seventh defenseman. The 24-year-old hasn't helped his own cause, failing to record a point in his last 13 contests. He has just one point, a goal, with 38 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 shots on net and 10 PIM through 15 appearances this season.

2023-11-19 analysis Pachal was a regular on the third pairing early in the campaign when the Golden Knights had injured defensemen, but they've been healthier of late. Nicolas Hague (lower body) is the only regular out of the lineup, but Ben Hutton has seemingly surpassed Pachal as the fill-in option. Until a spot opens up, expect Pachal to see a lot of time in the press box as a healthy scratch.

2023-10-13 analysis Pachal has gotten a chance to play on the third pairing with Alec Martinez (upper body) and Zach Whitecloud (upper body) on injured reserve to start the season. The goal was Pachal's first at the NHL level -- he produced two assists over 12 games across the previous two campaigns. The 24-year-old's stay with the big club may prove temporary once the Golden Knights get healthier on defense.
