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.
