Thompson will start Wednesday's road game versus the Blackhawks, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will get both halves of a back-to-back with the Golden Knights' season hanging in the balance. He took a shootout loss to the Stars on Tuesday, stopping 28 of 30 shots. If Vegas is to stay alive in the playoff race, they'll need Thompson at his best in a win over the Blackhawks as well as a Stars regulation loss to the Coyotes on Wednesday night.

Thompson allowed two goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson again came up just a save short, and the Golden Knights' playoff hopes are now hanging by a thread. The 25-year-old stopped six of seven Stars in the shootout before Miro Heiskanen potted the winning shot. Thompson slipped to 9-5-2 with a 2.59 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 17 contests. He could be asked to start again Wednesday in Chicago in a game the Golden Knights absolutely have to win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson wasn't great in his last start Sunday against San Jose, surrendering four goals on 29 shots en route to a 5-4 shootout loss. He'll try to bounce back and secure his 10th win of the year in a tough road matchup with a Dallas team that's 25-10-3 at home this year.

Thompson allowed four goals on 29 shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was within a second of earning the Golden Knights a much-needed regulation win when Timo Meier tallied the game-tying goal. The Golden Knights then came up empty on a power play in overtime and couldn't beat James Reimer in three attempts in the shootout. Thompson is 2-1-1 with 11 goals allowed across his last four games. There's still not much clarity on Robin Lehner's status -- he suited up as backup Sunday, so he's presumably available to start a near-absolute must-win game Tuesday versus the Stars. Thompson is 9-5-1 with a 2.64 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 16 appearances this season.

Thompson's expected to start Sunday's game against the Sharks, per coach Pete DeBoer, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will get the starting nod in a near must-win game for Vegas' playoff hopes. Robin Lehner (knee) is expected to dress as Thompson's backup. The 25-year-old Thompson has gone 9-5-0 with a 2.56 GAA and .921 save percentage for the Golden Knights.

Thompson stopped 13 of 15 shots in relief of Robin Lehner in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Lehner was pulled after the first period in a move to give the Golden Knights a jolt, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. Thompson wasn't better than his teammate, but he was solid enough to pick up the win. The 25-year-old has won six of his last seven appearances, improving to 9-5-0 with a 2.56 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 15 appearances. The Golden Knights' next game is Sunday versus the Sharks.

Thompson made 32 saves in a 4-0 loss to Edmonton on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He got no help from his mates, who just couldn't solve Mike Smith at the other end. Thompson did his best. He was beaten by Kris Russell on a surprisingly good shot early in the first and then he kept his team in the game until the third. Then Cody Ceci fired a shot through traffic on the fresh ice to start the third to make it 2-0. Thompson didn't even see it. And then Warren Foegele intercepted a pass at the Edmonton blue line about five minutes later and roared in on a breakaway, deked and put in a backhander to push it to 3-0. The loss snapped Thompson's personal winning streak of five games.

Thompson is set to tend the twine on the road versus Edmonton on Saturday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

With starter Robin Lehner attending to a family matter, Thompson will step into the crease for Saturday's contest. In his prior 13 appearances this year, the 25-year-old Thompson is 8-4-1 with a 2.43 GAA, .925 save percentage and one shutout. Until Lehner rejoins the team, fantasy players should expect Thompson to see the majority of the starts.
