Samsonov will protect the road goal versus the Predators on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov will start after Adin Hill tended the twine in Friday's win over the Blackhawks. The 28-year-old Samsonov is 2-1-1 in March, but he's been sharp with just eight goals allowed on 103 shots (.922 save percentage). While the Golden Knights may be a little tired due to the road back-to-back, the Predators' offense isn't too intimidating, so Samsonov is still a decent fantasy option.

Samsonov stopped 35 of 37 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights led 3-0 after the first period, and that was enough of a lead for Samsonov to work with. The 28-year-old had lost his last two outings, and he's started to slip into more of a clear-cut backup role to Adin Hill in that stretch. Samsonov is up to 16-9-3 with a 2.78 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 28 starts this season. He likely won't have to wait long for his next start. The Golden Knights have a three-game road trip for the upcoming week, which ends with a back-to-back at Chicago on Friday and at Nashville on Saturday, which essentially guarantees a favorable matchup for Samsonov in one of those contests.

Samsonov is expected to guard the home goal against Tampa Bay on Sunday, per SinBin.Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov will get the second half of Vegas' back-to-back after Adin Hill plays in Saturday's home game versus Detroit. The 28-year-old Samsonov has a 15-9-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.81 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. Tampa Bay ranks second in the league with 3.49 goals per game in 2024-25.

Samsonov made 24 of 27 saves in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov tended a clean first period before allowing the first goal of the game in the second period and two more in the third. The 28-year-old goalkeeper has a 15-9-3 record with a 2.81 GAA and an .889 save percentage. Samsonov has been hot and cold throughout various stretches in the past two months. He has recently experienced more of the latter and is a tough option to trust in fantasy for the time being. There are likely better options available on waivers who tend the twine more frequently than Samsonov.

Samsonov will get the road start Sunday against the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov will make just his second start in Vegas' last five games. He'll take on a Detroit team that's averaged 2.85 goals per game this year. Overall, Samsonov is 15-8-3 with an .889 save percentage and a 2.81 GAA in his first season with the Golden Knights.

Samsonov stopped 14 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old goalie wasn't busy at all, and that lack of activity may have cost him in OT -- Samsonov got a clean look at Erik Karlsson's shot from the faceoff circle but whiffed on it as the puck zipped past his glove. He's been working in a timeshare with Adin Hill since late January, but consistent action hasn't led to better results for Samsonov, as he's gone 3-2-2 in seven outings during that span with a 2.87 GAA and .859 save percentage.

Samsonov was the first goaltender off at Tuesday's morning skate, indicating he'll be between the road pipes against the Penguins, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov will make another start against Pittsburgh after posting a 22-save shutout over the Pens on Friday. The 28-year-old has a 15-8-2 record, .891 save percentage and 2.80 GAA through 25 appearances this season. Pittsburgh is tied for 20th in the NHL with 2.82 goals per game in 2024-25.

Samsonov recorded a 22-save shutout in Friday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov's last win was a struggle, as he gave up five goals on 22 shots to the Blackhawks. He then backed up Adin Hill for two games before returning to the crease in dominant fashion Friday. Samsonov is up to two shutouts this season and 15 in his career after this performance. He improved to 15-8-2 with a 2.80 GAA and an .891 save percentage across 25 appearances. The Golden Knights have largely maintained balance between their netminders, though Hill is more likely than Samsonov to collect consecutive starts when both are healthy.

Samsonov will serve as the starting netminder for Friday's home game against the Penguins, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov didn't appear in either of the Golden Knights' last two games, but he'll return to the net Friday and will attempt to bounce back after he went 1-1-0 with a 5.02 GAA and .756 save percentage over his last two starts. The Penguins have a middling offense, as they're tied for 17th in the NHL with 2.86 goals per game this season.

Samsonov stopped 17 of 22 shots in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights led 5-1 after the first period, so it's not a great sign that Samsonov allowed it to get close. He still came away with his second win in five outings, but he has given up 17 goals in that span. For the season, the 28-year-old netminder has a 14-8-2 record with a 2.91 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 24 contests. Adin Hill will likely be back between the pipes for Sunday's game versus the Devils. If Samsonov can't get his play back on track soon, he may lose out on playing time -- he's been in a near 50-50 split since the start of January.
