The Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> didn\u2019t leave Anaheim unscathed Sunday night with left wing Jonas Rondbjerg suffering an apparent lower-body injury in the second period against the Ducks.<\/p>\n

Rondbjerg took a hit from Anaheim captain Radko Gudas with 2:18 left in the second period as he carried the puck down the left side.<\/p>\n

Gudas appeared to catch Rondbjerg\u2019s leg into the end wall and he was slow to get up. Rondbjerg did not return for the third period in the Knights\u2019 4-3 <\/a>loss<\/a>, their fifth in a row.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t look good,\u201d coach Bruce Cassidy said postgame.<\/p>\n

Rondbjerg made his season debut with the Knights on Jan. 23 in Toronto after Brett Howden (lower body) was placed on injured reserve. He had 23 points in 36 games with Henderson before the call-up.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old was making a strong impression in his time on the NHL roster. Rondbjerg has always been a good forechecker, but his offensive game was rounding a corner with the Silver Knights.<\/p>\n

It showed with Rondbjerg on the third line with Tomas Hertl and Keegan Kolesar. He had two shots Saturday against <\/a>Seattle<\/a>, and had a quality scoring chance in the first period Sunday.<\/p>\n

Rondbjerg\u2019s call-up was perfect timing for the Winter Olympics, as he was one of the first six named to Denmark\u2019s team back in June. Rondbjerg is one of nine Knights players set to play in Italy.<\/p>\n

But Rondbjerg\u2019s status for the Olympics could be in jeopardy if he\u2019s out a considerable amount of time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Olympics are right around the corner, so that\u2019s going to be a tough one if it\u2019s of any length, but I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to be of any length,\u201d Cassidy said. \u201cI hope not, for his sake. He\u2019s a great kid and it\u2019s an opportunity to represent his country, so hopefully it\u2019s short-term.\u201d<\/p>\n

There won\u2019t be a better update on Rondbjerg until Tuesday. The Knights have two more games, starting Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks, before the break begins.<\/p>\n
