Samsonov allowed six goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 6-0 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov didn't play well, but his teammates didn't give him any support, failing to take advantage of Jaxson Stauber's lack of NHL experience. This was the fifth time Samsonov has allowed four or more goals in an appearance this season. The 27-year-old netminder dropped to 5-3-1 with a 3.39 GAA and an .892 save percentage over nine contests. Adin Hill has played better of late, and while the Golden Knights have given their goalies equal shares of playing time over the last eight games, Samsonov could see his usage reduced if he can't get back on track soon.

Samsonov will protect the home goal versus Utah on Saturday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov has won his last two starts, giving up six goals on 76 shots in that span. The 27-year-old will face a Utah team that lost 4-3 in overtime to the Oilers on Friday night. Jaxson Stauber is in the other crease, so Vegas may be able to generate significant offense against an inexperienced goalie, giving Samsonov a good chance of earning a win.

Samsonov turned aside 32 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Philly grabbed a 3-0 lead just 28 seconds into the second period as a Vegas blue line missing Alex Pietrangelo (upper body) and Zach Whitecloud (upper body) struggled early, but Samsonov kept his focus, which gave his team a chance to mount a comeback. The 27-year-old goalie missed the first couple weeks of November with an undisclosed injury, but he's moved back into a timeshare with Adin Hill since returning to the crease. On the season, Samsonov sports a 5-2-1 record in eight starts with a 3.08 GAA and a .904 save percentage.

Samsonov is expected to start on the road against Philadelphia on Monday, according to Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov has a 4-2-1 record, 2.99 GAA and .906 save percentage in seven outings in 2024-25. He turned aside 38 of 40 shots en route to a 3-2 win over Ottawa on Thursday. The Flyers have a 9-10-2 record and are tied for 21st offensively with 2.71 goals per game.

Samsonov made 38 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but he was able to weather a furious Ottawa comeback attempt that saw the home squad fire 18 shots at Samsonov in the final frame alone. It's his first win since Oct. 26, having missed the first couple weeks of November due to an undisclosed injury, and on the season Samsonov is 4-2-1 in seven starts with a 2.99 GAA and .906 save percentage. He's been in the crease for two of Vegas' last three games, and now that Samsonov is healthy again, the team could be shifting to more of a timeshare between him and Adin Hill.

Samsonov will tend the twine for Thursday's road clash with the Senators, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov has played in just one of the Knights' last eight contests while dealing with an undisclosed injury. In his lone appearance, the Russian backstop gave up four goals on 24 shots (.833 save percentage) in a losing effort to the Capitals on Sunday. Unless he can pick up his performance level, Samsonov could find himself firmly cemented in the No. 2 role behind Adin Hill.

Samsonov stopped 20 of 24 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov got his first start since Oct. 30, having missed five games due to an undisclosed injury before returning in a backup role Friday at Utah. There was a little rust for Samsonov, who took his second straight loss despite the Golden Knights driving play toward the Capitals' end. He's now 3-2-1 with a 3.15 GAA and an .897 save percentage over six starts. He likely won't have to wait long for his next start, as the Golden Knights open a road trip with a back-to-back at Toronto on Wednesday and at Ottawa on Thursday.

Samsonov will be between the pipes for Sunday's home tilt against the Capitals, Jesse Granger of The Athletic relays.

EDGE Analysis

Samsonov will make his sixth start of the season Sunday -- it's the Russian netminder's first appearance since allowing six goals in a loss to the Kings on Oct. 30. The 27-year-old spent the first three years of his career with the Capitals, and he's 2-1-0 with an .897 save percentage and a 2.67 GAA against his former club. Washington has scored 67 goals through 16 games.

Samsonov (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to back up Adin Hill in Friday's road game versus Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Vegas sent down Akira Schmid on Thursday and didn't recall him prior to Friday's game, which further confirms Samsonov has moved past his injury. This will be Samsonov's first game in uniform in November. The Golden Knights have a back-to-back Wednesday and Thursday of next week, so that may be when he next gets back between the pipes for a start.

Samsonov (undisclosed) won't suit up versus the Ducks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear if Samsonov is on the Golden Knights' current road trip. Adin Hill will start a fifth straight game and Akira Schmid will serve as backup Wednesday. Samsonov's injury isn't believed to be a long-term concern, but it's unclear if he'll be available for Friday's game in Utah.
