Thompson was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and is expected to start Sunday in Columbus, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has just two career NHL starts under his belt -- with his most recent being a one-goal, 35-save win over San Jose on Feb. 20. He'll look to help the Golden Knights halt a three-game losing streak against a Blue Jackets squad that's 16-12-3 at home and has averaged a 12th-ranked 3.20 goals for this season.
