Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Nabs fourth win
Samsonov made 38 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
The 27-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but he was able to weather a furious Ottawa comeback attempt that saw the home squad fire 18 shots at Samsonov in the final frame alone. It's his first win since Oct. 26, having missed the first couple weeks of November due to an undisclosed injury, and on the season Samsonov is 4-2-1 in seven starts with a 2.99 GAA and .906 save percentage. He's been in the crease for two of Vegas' last three games, and now that Samsonov is healthy again, the team could be shifting to more of a timeshare between him and Adin Hill.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Between pipes Thursday
Samsonov will tend the twine for Thursday's road clash with the Senators, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Samsonov has played in just one of the Knights' last eight contests while dealing with an undisclosed injury. In his lone appearance, the Russian backstop gave up four goals on 24 shots (.833 save percentage) in a losing effort to the Capitals on Sunday. Unless he can pick up his performance level, Samsonov could find himself firmly cemented in the No. 2 role behind Adin Hill.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Slips up against former team
Samsonov stopped 20 of 24 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Samsonov got his first start since Oct. 30, having missed five games due to an undisclosed injury before returning in a backup role Friday at Utah. There was a little rust for Samsonov, who took his second straight loss despite the Golden Knights driving play toward the Capitals' end. He's now 3-2-1 with a 3.15 GAA and an .897 save percentage over six starts. Samsonov likely won't have to wait long for his next start, as the Golden Knights open a road trip with a back-to-back in Toronto and Ottawa on Wednesday and Thursday.

The 27-year-old spent the first three years of his career with the Capitals, and he's 2-1-0 with an .897 save percentage and a 2.67 GAA against his former club. Washington has scored 67 goals through 16 games.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Set for backup duties
Samsonov (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to back up Adin Hill in Friday's road game versus Utah.
Vegas sent down Akira Schmid on Thursday and didn't recall him prior to Friday's game, which further confirms Samsonov has moved past his injury. This will be Samsonov's first game in uniform in November. The Golden Knights have a back-to-back Wednesday and Thursday of next week, so that may be when he next gets back between the pipes for a start.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Not suiting up Wednesday
Samsonov (undisclosed) won't suit up versus the Ducks on Wednesday.
It's unclear if Samsonov is on the Golden Knights' current road trip. Adin Hill will start a fifth straight game and Akira Schmid will serve as backup Wednesday. Samsonov's injury isn't believed to be a long-term concern, but it's unclear if he'll be available for Friday's game in Utah.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Will miss next two games
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.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Unavailable Saturday
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.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Yields six goals in loss
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 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.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Earns third win
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.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Slated to start Saturday
Samsonov was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate and is slated to get the home start versus San Jose on Saturday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Samsonov will get the second half of Vegas' back-to-back after Adin Hill played in Friday's 6-4 win over Ottawa.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Plays well in win
Samsonov stopped 32 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.
Samsonov has allowed exactly one goal in both of his wins this season, and he made 45 saves in his one defeat, which came in overtime. The 27-year-old netminder has started back-to-back contests, but it's unclear if Samsonov is in line to push Adin Hill for the No. 1 job in goal. Hill has been just okay most of the time, while Samsonov has a bit of momentum. Both goalies are likely to start a game this weekend with a back-to-back coming up -- the Golden Knights host the Senators on Friday and the Sharks on Saturday.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Busy in OT loss
Samsonov turned aside 45 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Florida poured on the pressure after falling behind 1-0 just before the first intermission, firing 15 shots at Samsonov in the second and third periods, and the 27-year-old goalie did well just to get the game to OT. He's looked good to begin the season, posting a .931 save percentage in his first two starts, and with Adin Hill stumbling to an .851 save percentage so far, Samsonov could work his way into a timeshare if he continues to deliver in the crease.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Wins team debut
Samsonov allowed a goal on 23 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
Samsonov made his debut after Adin Hill won the first two games of the season despite allowing a total of seven goal. Samsonov put in a sharper effort, albeit against a weaker opponent, to keep Vegas undefeated. Last season, the 27-year-old secured his third straight 20-win campaign despite a 3.13 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 40 regular-season appearances with the Maple Leafs. Samsonov may struggle to hit the 40-game mark this season, but the Golden Knights' sturdy defense should help the rest of his numbers.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Decent in preseason loss
Samsonov allowed two goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 3-1 preseason loss to the Avalanche. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Samsonov put in a fine effort, but he didn't receive much goal support. The 27-year-old netminder has lost both of his preseason outings despite allowing a modest five goals on 56 shots, which speaks to the defensive strength of Vegas' roster. Samsonov will begin 2024-25 in the backup role, while Adin Hill can be expected to work as the starter.

Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Facing Avalanche
Samsonov will defend the home crease versus Colorado on Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Samsonov is expected to be the backup goaltender with the Golden Knights this season, as Adin Hill is the No. 1 netminder in Vegas. Samsonov had a tough 2023-24 campaign in Toronto, although his record wouldn't indicate that, as he was 23-7-8. His peripherals were mediocre, as he had a 3.13 GAA and an .890 save percentage in 40 regular-season appearances.
