Thompson will return to the Golden Knights' crease on Tuesday after Adin Hill got the start in Calgary on Monday. Thompson last appeared in Saturday's game against the Coyotes, stopping 16 of the 17 shots he faced in the 2-0 defeat. The 26-year-old netminder has been stellar when called upon this season, owning a 5-3-1 record and a .922 SV%. He'll have his hands full tonight against Connor McDavid and the Oilers.
Thompson has backed up Adin Hill for the Golden Knights' previous two games but will take the crease back Saturday as they head host Arizona. The 26-year-old has enjoyed an excellent start to his 2023-24 season while splitting starts, with his 5-2-1 record, 2.48 GAA and .920 SV%. He will face the Arizona Coyotes, who is looking to snap a three-game losing streak and are struggling to get pucks on net as they are 30th in the NHL in shots per game (27.7).

Thompson will start on Tuesday after serving as the backup for two consecutive games for the Golden Knights. Thompson has not played since November 5th, his longest stretch between games, when he allowed three goals on 22 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Through six games this season (5-1-0), Thompson has an impressive 2.31 GAA and .923 SV%. The league-leading Golden Knights (12-2-1) are -151 road favourites against the Washington Capitals (7-4-2), who rank 31st in the league offensively (2.31 GF / GP) despite collecting points in three of their last four games (3-0-1).

Thompson will look to continue his undefeated season (4-0-0) as he appears to be the starter for the Golden Knights on Thursday night. Adin Hill has had the slight favour in net, starting 60% of the teams' 10 games thus far but Thompson continues to be a reliable option when called upon and should continue to see a near-split workload the rest of the way. In his most recent contest, Thompson saved 36 of 39 shots in a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. Thompson and the Golden Knights are -130 home favourites against the Winnipeg Jet, who are 4-3-2 on the season.

Thompson will get his third start this season as the Vegas Golden Knights look to continue their season-opening six-game winning streak. In two games (2-0-0), Thompson has posted a 2.00 GAA and .935 SV% behind a Golden Knights defence that currently ranks fourth-best in the league (1.83 GA/GP). The Golden Knights are -198 home favourites against a Philadelphia Flyers team that has outscored opponents 16-13 early this season (3-1-1).

Thompson will start for the Golden Knights on Thursday after serving as backup to Adin Hill for three of their four first games (4-0-0). This could be an indication of Thompson's usage going forward, as the Golden Knights seem content with giving their $4.9 million goalie, Hill, the priority in the crease. The defending Stanely Cup Champions have been stout defensively regardless of who has manned their net, outscoring their opposition by a lopsided 14-5 margin. In his only game this season, Thompson saved 22 of 23 shots in a 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. The Golden Knights enter action tonight as -111 road favourites against a Winnipeg Jets team that has been abysmal defensively, allowing a league-worst 4.67 goals per game.

Thompson was 21-13-3 with a .915 SV% and a 2.65 GAA in an injury-riddled 2022-23 with Vegas and will start their second game of the season Thursday in San Jose. The 26-year-old is entering his third NHL season and is expected to split starting time with Adin Hill throughout the season. He draws the San Jose Sharks on the road, who struggled to score in 2022-23 and finished 25th in goals for (233) and 25th in shots per game (29.5).
Thompson had to leave the Golden Knights' previous game vs. Calgary after 53:53 due to a lower-body injury and will now be forced to miss at least the next three games. The 26-year-old rookie netminder has had a great season, with his 21-13-3 record, 2.65 GAA and .915 SV%.
Thompson stopped 37 of 39 shots (.949 SV%) Thursday in a win over Calgary but has now returned to Vegas with an undisclosed injury and will not be available for the Golden Knights Saturday vs. Edmonton. The 26-year-old rookie netminder has been dealing with a lot of injuries lately, having started only two games since January 28th.
Thompson stopped 23 of 24 shots (.958 SV%) to snap a three-game losing streak as he beat Minnesota in his previous start on February 9th. The 26-year-old returns from a lower-body injury and hopes to add to his 20-13-3 record, .914 SV% and 2.66 GAA. He takes on the Calgary Flames, who snapped a two-game losing streak with a 5-1 win over Anaheim and are second in the NHL in shots per game (35.5).
Thompson has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since February 9th but travelled to Vancouver for Tuesday's game. Laurent Brossoit also travelled, and Jiri Patera was sent back to the AHL, suggesting that Thompson or Brossoit are ready to share the crease with Jonathan Quick as soon as Tuesday.
