NHL Player News

Thompson surrendered four goals on 30 shots in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

Thompson gave up a pair of goals in each of the first two periods, and the Golden Knights couldn't find an equalizer in the third. The 27-year-old has allowed 10 goals over his last two games after giving up just nine goals across the previous seven contests combined. He's now at 23-14-5 with a 2.76 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 44 appearances. Adin Hill (lower body) is traveling with the Golden Knights on their two-game road trip, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to play Wednesday in Edmonton.

Silovs allowed three goals on 23 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

He gave up a pair of goals to Jack Eichel in the first period, but Silovs limited the damage after that to just one Noah Hanifin power-play marker. This was Silovs' third win in as many games at the NHL level this season. He's allowed six goals on 66 shots over that stretch, and the Canucks have played strong defense in front of him to make things a bit easier. The 23-year-old will likely head back to AHL Abbotsford once Thatcher Demko (knee) is healthy.

Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on 23 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Nedeljkovic held the Leafs to a pair of goals in regulation, including an Auston Matthews power-play marker, though he'd ultimately wind up with the loss after Jake McCabe scored the game-winner 1:30 into overtime. The defeat snapped a four-game winning streak for Nedeljkovic -- he'd gone 6-0-1 with a .926 save percentage over his previous seven outings while taking over the starting job in Pittsburgh. Overall, the 28-year-old Nedeljkovic is 16-6-7 with a .907 save percentage and 2.82 GAA on the season. He figures to be back between the pipes Thursday when the Penguins host Detroit.

Samsonov stopped 30 of 32 shots in a 3-2 overtime victory over the Penguins on Monday.

Samsonov was solid Monday, holding Pittsburgh to a Rickard Rakell goal in the first period and Drew O'Connor's game-tying marker in the third before eventually earning the win in overtime. It's the fifth straight win for Samsonov, who's posted a .929 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder is 23-6-7 with an .895 save percentage and 3.00 GAA this season. Joseph Woll figures to get the start Tuesday in New Jersey in the second leg of a back-to-back, lining up Samsonov for a home matchup with the Devils on Thursday.

Thompson will get the starting nod in Vancouver on Monday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

Thompson saw his six-game winning streak snapped Friday against Arizona after giving up six goals on 31 shots. Over his previous seven games, he'd allowed just nine goals on 187 total shots. The 27-year-old is now 23-13-5 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 43 appearances this season.

Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Vegas.

Silovs has wins in his previous two NHL appearances this season, allowing just three goals on 43 shots in those games. With another strong performance, it's possible that the young netminder gets additional minutes down the stretch, at least until Thatcher Demko (knee) is cleared to return.

Husso (lower body) was loaned to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday for a conditioning assignment.

Husso's only appearance since Dec. 18 lasted for just 8:48 of ice time against Edmonton on Feb. 13. He has posted a 9-5-2 record this season with a 3.55 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 19 appearances with the Red Wings. Alex Lyon and James Reimer have been handling the goaltending duties for Detroit during Husso's extended absence.

Varlamov will protect the home net Tuesday against the Rangers, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Varlamov is coming off a 41-save shutout victory over Nashville on Saturday. He has gone 5-1-1 in his past seven outings while pushing Ilya Sorokin for playing time. Varlamov has posted a record of 11-8-4 this season with a 2.72 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 25 appearances. The Rangers sit sixth in the league this campaign with 3.45 goals per contest.

Lyon will patrol the home crease Tuesday against Washington, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Lyon is coming off a 37-save performance in Sunday's 3-1 win over Buffalo. He has a 20-17-4 record this campaign with a 2.98 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 41 games played. The struggling Capitals sit 28th in the league with 2.65 goals per contest this season.

Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports, indicating he will defend the road net Monday against the Maple Leafs.

Nedeljkovic is poised to make his ninth consecutive start. He has gone 6-0-2 with a .917 save percentage over his last eight outings. Nedeljkovic has a 16-6-6 record with a 2.82 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 33 appearances this season. Toronto ranks third in the league with 3.62 goals per contest this campaign.
