Thompson will likely start for the Golden Knights on Thursday after serving as backup to Adin Hill for three of their four first games (4-0-0). This could be an indication of Thompson's usage going forward, as the Golden Knights seem content with giving their $4.9 million goalie, Hill, the priority in the crease. The defending Stanely Cup Champions have been stout defensively regardless of who has manned their net, outscoring their opposition by a lopsided 14-5 margin. In his only game this season, Thompson saved 22 of 23 shots in a 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. The Golden Knights enter action tonight as -111 road favourites against a Winnipeg Jets team that has been abysmal defensively, allowing a league-worst 4.67 goals per game.

Thompson was 21-13-3 with a .915 SV% and a 2.65 GAA in an injury-riddled 2022-23 with Vegas and will start their second game of the season Thursday in San Jose. The 26-year-old is entering his third NHL season and is expected to split starting time with Adin Hill throughout the season. He draws the San Jose Sharks on the road, who struggled to score in 2022-23 and finished 25th in goals for (233) and 25th in shots per game (29.5).

Thompson had to leave the Golden Knights' previous game vs. Calgary after 53:53 due to a lower-body injury and will now be forced to miss at least the next three games. The 26-year-old rookie netminder has had a great season, with his 21-13-3 record, 2.65 GAA and .915 SV%.

Thompson stopped 37 of 39 shots (.949 SV%) Thursday in a win over Calgary but has now returned to Vegas with an undisclosed injury and will not be available for the Golden Knights Saturday vs. Edmonton. The 26-year-old rookie netminder has been dealing with a lot of injuries lately, having started only two games since January 28th.

Thompson stopped 23 of 24 shots (.958 SV%) to snap a three-game losing streak as he beat Minnesota in his previous start on February 9th. The 26-year-old returns from a lower-body injury and hopes to add to his 20-13-3 record, .914 SV% and 2.66 GAA. He takes on the Calgary Flames, who snapped a two-game losing streak with a 5-1 win over Anaheim and are second in the NHL in shots per game (35.5).

Thompson has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since February 9th but travelled to Vancouver for Tuesday's game. Laurent Brossoit also travelled, and Jiri Patera was sent back to the AHL, suggesting that Thompson or Brossoit are ready to share the crease with Jonathan Quick as soon as Tuesday.

Thompson departed Thursday's game with a leg injury midway through the third period and had to be helped off the ice by trainers and teammates, putting no pressure on his leg. The Golden Knights said that Thompson will have an MRI on Friday, and they'll have a much better idea of the severity of his injury. Expect Adin Hill to start Sunday vs. the Ducks.

Thompson stopped 36 of 38 shots (.947 SV%) for his third-straight loss as he was defeated in overtime by the New York Islanders in his last start. The 25-year-old rookie was an NHL All-star due to his 19-13-3 record, 2.69 GAA and .913 SV%. He takes on the Minnesota Wild, who have lost their last two games and are 21st in the NHL in goals per game (3.0).

He takes on the Dallas Stars, who have lost their last two games but are seventh in the NHL in goals (3.43).
