Thompson (upper body) isn't expected to play in Thursday's road contest versus Tampa Bay.

Thompson, who is considered day-to-day, has a 10-5-3 record, 2.71 GAA and .905 save percentage in 19 outings in 2023-24.

Thompson (upper body) is considered day-to-day as of Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was torched for six goals on 28 shots against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, though it was initially believed his early removal from that game was due to performance. Isaiah Saville was called up from AHL Henderson as an emergency option in goal. It's unclear if Thompson will play Thursday versus the Lightning -- Jiri Patera would likely get the start if Thompson can't go.

Thompson stopped 22 of 28 shots before being replaced by Jiri Patera early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Three of the goals against Thompson came on Carolina power plays, and the last puck to get past him came after a giveaway in the Vegas zone gave Brady Skjei a clean look from the faceoff dot. It's been an up and down December for Thompson, and while the netminder has given up at least four goals in three of his last four outings, he also sports a 5-2-1 record in eight starts. Given his heavy recent workload while Adin Hill has battled through a lower-body injury and now an undisclosed issue that may or may not be related, it wouldn't be surprising to see Thompson give way to Patera in the crease for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay.

Thompson will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road clash with Carolina, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adin Hill (undisclosed) is not expected to join the team on the road prior to the Christmas break, so Jiri Patera will serve as Thompson's backup. Thompson has posted a 10-4-3 record this season with a 2.48 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 18 appearances. Carolina ranks 14th in the league this campaign with 3.19 goals per game.

Thompson stopped 20 of 22 shots in relief of Adin Hill (undisclosed) in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson entered after Hill was injured on the Senators' first goal. The Golden Knights' offense took care of the rest, though Thompson would later have an injury scare of his own after a couple of plays at the net front in the third period. Head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters after the game that Thompson is fine, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic. Thompson has won five of his last seven outings and is now 10-4-3 with a 2.48 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 18 appearances this season. The Golden Knights are set for a four-game road trip, beginning Tuesday against the Hurricanes. With Hill's status once again up in the air, Thompson could continue to see significant playing time.

Thompson allowed four goals on 26 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson gave up three of those goals in the third period, failing to protect a 2-1 lead that Jack Eichel created 3:22 into the frame. This was Thompson's first regulation loss since Nov. 25 -- he went 4-0-2 with a mere 16 goals allowed over his previous seven outings. The loss dropped Thompson to 9-4-3 with a 2.49 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 17 games this season. Thompson likely start again Sunday versus the Senators, but Adin Hill (lower body) is expected to travel with the team for the road trip that begins Tuesday against the Hurricanes and could be available to play soon.

Thompson is expected to start at home against Buffalo on Friday, SinBin.vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has a 9-3-3 record, 2.39 GAA and .915 save percentage in 16 outings this campaign. He's won his last three contests while allowing eight goals on 80 shots (.900 save percentage) over that stretch. The Sabres rank 26th offensively this year with 2.83 goals per game.

Thompson stopped 27 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames had the lead three times, and Thompson couldn't make a one-goal lead stick for the last 3:46 of the game. However, Mark Stone scored on a breakaway in overtime to finish the back-and-forth contest. Thompson has won four of his last five outings, and this was the first time he's allowed more than three goals in that span. The 26-year-old Calgary native improved to 9-3-3 with a 2.39 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 16 appearances. If Adin Hill (lower body) remains out Friday, Thompson will likely make the start versus the Sabres.

Thompson will protect the home net Tuesday against Calgary, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has won his past two outings, including a 19-save performance in Saturday's 6-1 victory over Dallas. He has provided an 8-3-3 record with a 2.29 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 15 games this season. The Flames rank 22nd in the league this campaign with 2.96 goals per contest.

Thompson made 19 saves in a 6-1 win over Dallas on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

To be honest, Thompson was hardly tested Saturday. The only puck that got past him was a rebound by Evgenii Dadonov from below the left circle. Thompson, who has won two straight games, is 3-0-1 with just six goals allowed in his last four starts. It's a good time to have him in your net.
