EDGE Analysis
Thompson saved 32 of 36 shots en route to a 4-1 loss to Florida on Thursday. He's 11-8-3 with a 2.87 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 23 outings in 2023-24.

Thompson stopped 32 of 36 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Special teams made the difference here -- the Golden Knights failed to convert on any of their power plays, while the Panthers struck three times while a man up. Thompson has lost five of his last eight outings, and while he's given up four or more goals in five of those games, he's also dealing with a lack of scoring support from his teammates. Thursday's defeat dropped him to 11-8-3 with a 2.87 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 23 contests. Adin Hill (undisclosed) has been skating on his own, but until he logs a handful of team practices, he's unlikely to be ready to return to ease some of Thompson's workload.

Thompson is expected to start in Thursday's home game versus Florida, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has an 11-7-3 record, 2.81 GAA and .902 save percentage in 22 contests this season. He's struggled over his last seven outings, allowing 26 goals on 169 shots (.867 save percentage). The Panthers are on a five-game winning streak, so they're unlikely to make things any easier for Thompson.

Thompson stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Kraken in the Winter Classic.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was decent, but he gave up a goal in the first five minutes of each period. Seattle's Joey Daccord proved impenetrable at the other end of the rink, earning the first shutout in Winter Classic history. This was Thompson's third loss in his last four outings, a span in which he's allowed 16 tallies. He's now at 11-7-3 with a 2.81 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 22 games this season. The Golden Knights return home for their next two games, hosting the Panthers on Thursday and the Islanders on Saturday.

Thompson will guard the road goal Monday against Seattle, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson is coming off a 32-save performance in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Kings. In 21 games this season, he has supplied an 11-6-3 record with a 2.80 GAA and a .902 save percentage. The Kraken sit 28th in the league this campaign with 2.65 goals per contest.

Thompson stopped 32 of 34 shots in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was sharp in his second start in as many days, allowing just a pair of goals on 34 shots after allowing five goals in a loss to Anaheim on Wednesday. It was an encouraging bounce-back effort from the 26-year-old Thompson, who'd gone 2-3-0 with an .843 save percentage in his prior five outings. Overall, Thompson improved to 11-6-3 with a .902 save percentage and 2.80 GAA on the campaign. He figures to continue to see the bulk of the starting chances in Vegas while Adin Hill (undisclosed) is sidelined.

Thompson is expected to start at home against LA on Thursday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson will be starting for the second consecutive night after stopping 21 of 26 shots in a 5-2 loss to Anaheim on Wednesday. It's unusual for a goaltender to play in both halves of a back-to-back, but Vegas is missing Adin Hill (undisclosed), so the only alternative was starting Jiri Patera, who has a 3.98 GAA and an .897 save percentage in four outings this year. For his part, Thompson is 10-5-3 with a 2.71 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 19 contests in 2023-24. The Kings rank third offensively this campaign with 3.58 goals per game, so Thompson is going to have a tough time battling them alongside his own fatigue.

Thompson gave up five goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Anaheim tallied four times in a span of 8:55 during the first period, which decided the contest. It was mildly surprising Thompson stayed in the game after that considering he was coming back from an upper-body injury that cost him the previous two games. He dropped to 10-6-3 with a 2.84 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 20 appearances. Thompson should continue to handle the majority of the starts in goal until Adin Hill (undisclosed) returns, though Jiri Patera may get the nod Thursday versus the Kings in Vegas' last game before the Winter Classic.

Thompson (upper body) will start on the road against Anaheim on Wednesday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson missed Vegas' previous two games due to the injury. He has a 10-5-3 record, 2.71 GAA and .905 save percentage in 19 contests this season. Thompson will see a favorable matchup in his return -- Anaheim is 12-21-0 while ranking 29th offensively with just 2.58 goals per game this year.

Thompson (upper body) will miss Saturday's road game against Florida, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Jiri Patera is expected to start Saturday while Isaiah Saville will serve as the backup goaltender. Thompson, who is set to miss his second straight contest, has a 10-5-3 record, 2.71 GAA and .905 save percentage in 19 appearances this season. He'll get some additional time to recover over the Christmas break before Vegas' next game in Anaheim on Wednesday.
