Thompson (lower body) will make the three-game road trip with his teammates, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With both Thompson and Laurent Brossoit (lower body) on the trip, the Knights sent Jiri Patera back to the minors. It seems likely that Jonathan Quick will continue to carry the workload for the club but Thompson's return could open the door for him to make a few appearances in the crease before the end of the regular season.

Thompson (lower body) skated on his own Thursday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was skating on a different rink as his teammates practiced. Thompson last played Feb. 9, and this was the first time he has been seen skating since the injury. Thompson is 20-13-3 with a 2.66 GAA and .914 save percentage this season. He was among the favorites for the Calder Trophy before the injury.

Thompson was put on the injured reserve list Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson last played Feb. 9, so he's eligible to be activated whenever he's healthy. In the meantime, this move will provide Vegas with an extra roster spot. The 25-year-old has a 20-13-3 record, 2.66 GAA and .914 save percentage in 36 games this season. Vegas was primarily leaning on Adin Hill in Thompson's absence, but Hill sustained an undisclosed injury and is consequently expected to miss his second consecutive game when the Golden Knights face the Flames on Thursday. Laurent Brossoit is slated to start instead while Michael Hutchinson is set to serve as the backup.

Thompson is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a major loss for the Golden Knights and fantasy managers alike, as Thompson has been rock solid as Vegas' No. 1 netminder this season, going 20-13-3 while posting a respectable 2.66 GAA and .914 save percentage. With Thompson facing an extended absence, look for Adin Hill to take over as the Knights' preferred option in net for the foreseeable future.

Thompson (leg) will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the extent of his injury, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Bruce Cassidy also said Thompson was moving around in the locker room, which suggests he may have avoided a worst-case scenario. A clearer timeline for Thompson's return will have to wait until after the results of the MRI are available. The Golden Knights held on for a 5-1 win over the Wild on Thursday, with Thompson getting the win to improve to 20-13-3 with a 2.66 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 36 appearances.

Thompson (leg) left Thursday's game versus the Wild in the third period, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson needed help from teammates to get off the ice, and he couldn't put any weight on his left leg as he exited. Prior to the injury, he stopped 23 of 24 shots, and barring a meltdown from the Golden Knights, he'll still reach the 20-win mark for the season, but the concern is rightfully on the injury at this point. An update on Thompson's status should surface prior to Sunday's game versus the Ducks. Adin Hill will likely see most of the action if Thompson misses time, while Laurent Brossoit could be in line to be called up.

Thompson was the first goaltender off the ice at practice Thursday, indicating he will be in the visiting crease versus Minnesota, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is 1-4-2 in his last seven starts, but his support has been lacking as the Golden Knights have found the back of the net only 14 times and that includes the six goals in their lone win over Washington. Overall, Thompson is 19-13-3 with a 2.69 GAA and .913 save percentage. He will face the Wild, who have averaged 3.00 goals per game, tied for 21st in the NHL.

Thompson made 35 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Islanders on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Anders Lee picked up a loose puck and put it past Thompson's glove to open the scoring early in the second. And Mathew Barzal won it with 32 seconds left in OT when he faked a one-timer, skated to the top of the right circle, and fired blocker side. Thompson has scuffled a little in 2023 with a 1-4-2 record in his last seven games. But the Golden Knights have only given him eight goals in those six defeats. No goalie can do it alone.

Thompson will defend the road goal Saturday against the Islanders, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is coming off a 33-save effort in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to New Jersey. He has a 19-13-2 record this season with a 2.71 GAA and a .912 save percentage. Thompson will get the second half of Vegas' back-to-back after Adin Hill played in Friday's loss to the Rangers. The Islanders sit 25th in the league this year with 2.86 goals per game.

Thompson allowed three goals on 37 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson kept the Knights in the game for most of the night, but he'd concede the tieing goal to Dougie Hamilton late in the third period before Hamilton went on to score the winner in overtime. Thompson falls to 1-3-1 in his last five starts, though he's sported a respectable .902 save percentage in that span. The 25-year-old netminder is now 19-13-2 with a .912 save percentage on the season.
