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.
