Samsonov is dealing with an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Edmonton, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Samsonov probably wasn't going to start Tuesday's game regardless, but the team brought up Akira Schmid from AHL Henderson in case Samsonov isn't healthy enough to back up Adin Hill. The Golden Knights have a back-to-back against Calgary and Vancouver on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, which could be an opportunity for Samsonov to start if he's cleared to play by the weekend.
