Samsonov (undisclosed) won't travel with Vegas for its upcoming road trip featuring games in Edmonton on Wednesday and Seattle on Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports Tuesday. Samsonov's next opportunity to play will come Monday versus the Hurricanes. The good news is coach Bruce Cassidy doesn't believe Samsonov's injury will keep him on the shelf for a long duration. The 27-year-old netminder has a 3-1-1 record, 2.95 GAA and .906 save percentage in five appearances in 2024-25. Akira Schmid is serving as Adin Hill's understudy during Samsonov's absence.

Samsonov won't dress for Saturday's home tilt against Utah due to an undisclosed injury, per SinBin.vegas. Adin Hill will start Saturday's matchup, while Akira Schmid will be the backup goaltender. Samsonov has a 3-1-1 record, 2.95 GAA and .906 save percentage in five appearances in 2024-25. Hill has gotten off to a rough start, posting a 3.20 GAA and an .878 save percentage across six outings, but he might get leaned on heavily if Samsonov's injury lingers.

Samsonov allowed six goals on 27 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings. Samsonov allowed the first four goals of the game, and the Golden Knights weren't able to create much of a comeback effort. This was easily his worst start of the campaign, and he's now allowed 10 goals on 76 shots over his two road outings. Samsonov is 3-1-1 with a 2.95 GAA and a .906 save percentage through five starts. He's alternated games with Adin Hill over the last five contests -- if that pattern holds, Hill would start Saturday at home versus Utah while Samsonov would line up for a road start in Edmonton next Wednesday.

Samsonov will protect the road goal Wednesday versus the Kings, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. Samsonov has won three of his four starts this season, and his one defeat was an overtime loss on the road against the Panthers. He has allowed a total of nine goals on 133 shots, good for a .932 save percentage. The Golden Knights are looking for their first win away from T-Mobile Arena.

Samsonov stopped 23 of 26 shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Sharks. The Golden Knights were in control from the start, so Samsonov didn't have to be at his best. The 27-year-old has won three of his four outings this season, giving up nine goals on 133 shots in those games. There hasn't been a set pattern for goalie starts from head coach Bruce Cassidy this year, but neither Samsonov nor Adin Hill has started more than two games in a row, and both netminders will get their looks. The Golden Knights host the Flames on Monday.
