Thompson allowed three goals on 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson made two highlight-reel saves and another handful of strong stops. In the end, the Golden Knights' parade to the penalty box in the second period gave the Flames too much momentum for Thompson to stop. He's allowed six goals on 97 shots across three starts, with Tuesday marking his first defeat of the year. The 25-year-old sure looks like the real deal early on. The Golden Knights are back home for their next three games, taking on the Jets (Thursday), Avalanche (Saturday) and Maple Leafs (Monday).

Thompson led the Golden Knights onto the ice, indicating he'll start Tuesday's road game versus the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is coming off of a shutout in his last start, in which he made 27 saves in a 1-0 win over the Blackhawks. Tuesday's contest will be a much tougher contest, as the Flames have won both of their games this year over the Avalanche and the Oilers. With Jacob Markstrom in the goal opposite Thompson, this could be a low-scoring game.

Thompson stopped 27 shots in a 1-0 win over the Blackhawks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The first shutout of the NHL season belongs to the 25-year-old rookie, who had a razor-thin margin throughout the contest. The Golden Knights couldn't do much against Blackhawks goalie Alex Stalock, but Thompson was just a touch better with a handful of impressive saves in his second outing of the year. He's given up just three goals on 57 shots to open his first full campaign, and he's making a strong case to run with the starting role. The Golden Knights' next two games are Saturday in Seattle and Tuesday in Calgary -- it's safe to assume Thompson will start at least one of them, though head coach Bruce Cassidy will likely want to give Adin Hill a look at some point early in the season.

Thompson is expected to start Thursday against Chicago, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will be Thompson's second straight start to open the season. He saved 27 of 30 shots in a 4-3 victory against Los Angeles on Tuesday. He went into the season with just 20 games worth of NHL experience, but with Robin Lehner (hip) out for the season, Thompson is being given a chance to serve as the Golden Knights' number one goaltender.

Thompson allowed three goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson got the nod for the first time as the Golden Knights' top goalie. It wasn't the smoothest of performances for the 25-year-old, but a Mark Stone tally in the final minute of the third period was enough to earn Thompson the win. He went 10-5-3 with a 2.68 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 19 games last season. Should he run with the starter's role in Vegas this year, he'll likely return excellent fantasy value to managers who trusted him on draft day. It's unclear how head coach Bruce Cassidy will divide the work between Thompson and Adin Hill in the early going, though the former should be penciled in for a majority of the starts.

Thompson will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road game against Los Angeles, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will start on Opening Night due to injuries to Robin Lehner (hip) and Laurent Brossoit (hip). Lehner is not expected to play at all this season, which puts Thompson in a strong position to see most of the starts this campaign. He posted a 10-5-3 record last year with a 2.68 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 19 appearances.

Thompson will protect the home goal in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will make his second straight start, which should be good practice for when he takes on a starting role in the regular season. The 25-year-old earned the win Thursday versus the Kings, though he was a bit shaky with four goals allowed on 29 shots.

Thompson will start in goal on the road against the Kings on Thursday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday will likely be the last preseason game action Thompson sees this year. He'll probably see 50-plus starts as Vegas' No. 1 netminder this season.

Thompson is expected to start and play the full game against the Avalanche at home Wednesday, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Robin Lehner (hip) out for the year, Thompson is expected to take on a hefty workload as the Golden Knights' No. 1 netminder this season. Thompson went 10-5-3 while posting a 2.68 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 19 NHL appearances in 2021-22.

Thompson stopped 14 of 18 shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't Thompson's best start but he earned the win thanks to a seven-goal outburst from the Vegas offense. The victory ended a streak of three-straight overtime losses for the 25-year-old netminder. Thompson will end his rookie season with a 17-10-5 record and a solid .914 save percentage.
