Samsonov allowed four goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov returned to the crease after missing eight games, which suggests he's healthy heading into the postseason. That'll be a relief for the Golden Knights, though Adin Hill will likely get the majority of the starts at least to begin the playoffs. Samsonov has likely wrapped up his regular season in the first half of a back-to-back set. If that's the case, he'll close at 16-9-4 with a 2.82 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 29 appearances. One of Hill or Akira Schmid is likely to get the nod in Vancouver on Wednesday for the regular-season finale.

Samsonov (upper body) will defend the road net against Calgary on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov will return to the crease following an eight-game absence. He has posted a 16-9-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.78 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 28 appearances this season. Calgary ranks 30th in the league with 2.64 goals per game in 2024-25.

Samsonov (upper body) won't return to the lineup Saturday versus the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov is set to miss his eighth straight game. His last chances to return during the regular season will be in a road back-to-back with contests in Calgary on Tuesday and in Vancouver on Wednesday. It's unclear at this time if Samsonov will be able to suit up for either of those games.

Samsonov (upper body) won't return to action Thursday versus the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov will be out for a seventh straight game, and there's yet to be an indication he'll be ready before the playoffs. The Golden Knights have three games left on the schedule after Thursday. Adin Hill is starting Thursday and could split the starts with Akira Schmid if Samsonov remains out until the postseason.

Samsonov (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Avalanche, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

There's been no update on Samsonov since he was a late scratch March 29 versus the Predators. The Golden Knights have little incentive to rush him back prior to the playoffs. Akira Schmid will start versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, but Adin Hill is Vegas' No. 1 netminder.

Samsonov (upper body) isn't expected to be an option for Saturday's road game versus Calgary and Sunday's road matchup versus Vancouver, according to SinBin Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Adin Hill and Akira Schmid will probably split the back-to-back situation. The 28-year-old Samsonov has been unavailable since getting hurt in pregame warmups before last Saturday's 3-1 win over Nashville. He has a 16-9-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.78 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 28 appearances this season.

Samsonov (upper body) will miss Thursday's clash against Winnipeg, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov hasn't been in net since March 23. He has a 16-9-3 record, 2.78 GAA and .892 save percentage in 28 appearances in 2024-25. Adin Hill is set to start versus the Jets, while Akira Schmid will serve as the understudy.

Samsonov is dealing with an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Edmonton, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov probably wasn't going to start Tuesday's game regardless, but the team brought up Akira Schmid from AHL Henderson in case Samsonov isn't healthy enough to back up Adin Hill. The Golden Knights == have a back-to-back against Calgary and Vancouver on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, which could be an opportunity for Samsonov to start if he's cleared to play by the weekend.

Samsonov had something tighten up on him during warmups, which is why he did not make his anticipated start Saturday versus the Predators, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov started the game on the bench where the backup goalie would usually sit, but he left midway through the second period, Webster adds. This leaves Samsonov's status in doubt ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Oilers, though that's likely one Adin Hill would start anyway. If Samsonov can't dress, the Golden Knights will need to make a move to call up a goaltender.

Samsonov won't start Saturday in Nashville despite leading the Golden Knights onto the ice for warmups, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov was the logical choice to start the second half of a back-to-back, but instead, it will be Adin Hill in goal for the second game in a row. It's a tough break for fantasy managers who were banking on Samsonov against a fairly easy opponent, as the switch came after the roster lock. It's unclear if Samsonov is currently dealing with something that is keeping him from playing.
