Vegas Golden Knights head coach Peter DeBoer said on Friday that a report that Robin Lehner's season was over is news to him.

Earlier on Friday, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reported the 30-year-old goaltender is set to undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Asked about Kaplan's report, DeBoer said he still expects Lehner to dress.

"Not to my knowledge," DeBoer said of an impending surgery for Lehner. "It was a maintenance day today. I expect him at practice tomorrow. I expect him dressed on Sunday."

The injury in question to Lehner was incurred during a Mar. 8 game against the Philadelphia Flyers. He had attempted to play through it, but Kaplan reports he made the decision to have the procedure now.

Lehner last appeared in Wednesday night's victory over the Washington Capitals, but was spelled by Logan Thompson after the first period.

The Gothenburg, Sweden native has a record of 23-17-2 this season with a goals against average of 2.83 and a .907 save percentage.

The Golden Knights have four games remaining on their schedule and trail the Dallas Stars by two points for the final Western Conference wild-card spot.
