Thompson made 38 saves in a 5-1 win over the Kings on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 38 saves, including 19 in a busy third period, were a career high for the young netminder. Thompson allowed a snipe by Phillip Danault in the second and then stood on his head in the last frame. The score was 3-1 until the 17:32 mark of the third when Alex Pietrangelo scored into an empty net. Thompson is the 2021 AHL Outstanding Goaltender and has won two straight games against the Panthers and Kings, two strong teams. With Robin Lehner's (lower body) return uncertain, Thompson will need to be this good going forward to help stabilize the struggling Knights.
