Goalie Start
Samsonov was announced as the starter, led the team onto the ice for warmups but then left warmups early. Absolute chaos ensued. It looked like maybe Pheonix Copley would start, but now Samsonov is fine and starting. Happy Saturday.

Goalie Start
Samsonov was announced as starting goalie on Saturday.
The Coyotes have signed Dysin Mayo to a three-year contract extension.
Whitecloud (foot) will be back in the Golden Knights lineup on Friday.
Whitecloud missed the last six games but is expected to replace Dylan Coghlan (flu) in the lineup on Friday. Whitecloud has scored six goals with six assists (12 points) in 31 games this season.
Olofsson (illness) will be back in the Sabres lineup on Friday.
Olofsson missed Wednesday's game in Montreal but will be back in the lineup in St. Louis. Olofsson will skate on a line with Casey Mittelstadt and Peyton Krebs and comes in with just four points (2G / 2A) in his last 16 games.
Goalie Start
Samsonov will start Thursday in New York.
Olofsson (non-COVID illness) will not travel to Montreal.
Olofsson was not on the ice for Tuesday's practice and will not travel to Montreal for Wednesday's game. Casey Mittelstadt moved to the wing in practice to replace Olofsson.
Goalie Start
Samsonov will start Thursday in Philadelphia.
Lehner is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Lehner has been evaluated by doctors and the Golden Knights believe that he will be available to play "sooner than later." Laurent Brossoit is expected to get a few consecutive starts while Lehner is on the shelf.
Goalie Start
Samsonov will start Tuesday in Nashville.
The Golden Knights have placed Mark Stone (back) on LTIR.
Stone has been battling a back issue all season, so he'll get some time to rehab. The move also clears cap space for the Golden Knights to activate Jack Eichel (neck) ahead of his debut on Wednesday. Golden Knights GM said that it's impossible for the team to predict how long they will be without Stone but that they are hopeful that surgery will not be required.
Eichel will make his Golden Knights debut on Wednesday.
Eichel was acquired from the Sabres in early November and has been cleared to make his debut on Wednesday after missing the first four and a half months following neck surgery. To make room for Eichel, the Golden Knights had to put Mark Stone (back) on LTIR. Eichel will start on the top line with Max Pacioretty and Evgenii Dadonov in his debut, as well as the top power-play unit.

Stone (upper-body) will not play Wednesday in Calgary.
The Golden Knights are in the second half of a back-to-back and Stone will not be available against the Flames. Evgeni Dadonov will likely move up to into the top-6 to replace Stone.
Whitecloud has a broken bone in his foot and will miss the Golden Knights two-game road trip.
Whitecloud missed the Golden Knights' final game before the All-Star break and will miss at least the first two games after. For now, he's been ruled out for the two-game road trip, so monitor his status as the Golden Knights return home for next Wednesday's game vs. the Avalanche.
Eichel (neck) was a full participant in Monday's practice.
Eichel removed the no-contact jersey and was a full participant in Monday's practice. Eichel skated on the "fifth" line with Nolan Patrick and Michael Amadio, so he's not ready to play yet, but he is nearing his Golden Knights debut.
