Goalie Start
Thompson is expected to start Saturday vs. the Avalanche.
Leason will be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
Leason appeared in two straight games, going minus-2 in 11:40 ATOI. He'll be scratched Thursday with Pavol Regenda drawing back in.
Goalie Start
Thompson led the Golden Knights onto the ice for warmups.
The Flyers have recalled Louie Belpedio from Lehigh Valley (AHL).
Belpedio likely won't play but gives the Flyers and extra defenseman for their three-game road-trip. The Flyers moved Rasmus Ristolainen to IR to create room for him.
The Capitals signed Sonny Milano to a one-year, $750K contract.
Milano was with Calgary on a PTO in the pre-season but did not earn a contract. After signing with the Capitals, Milano went on waivers and will be assigned to Hershey (AHL) if he clears on Monday. Milano scored 14 goals with 20 assists (34 points) in 66 games with the Ducks a season ago.

Charlie Lindgren starts in goal for the Capitals tonight
Goalie Start
Thompson was the first goalie off of the ice at the Golden Knights morning skate.
Thompson will draw his second start in as many games after beating the LA Kings in the Golden Knights season opener 4-3. Thompson will look to build off his solid performance as he stopped 27 of 30 shots (.900%) on way to the 11th win of his career.
Goalie Start
Lindgren will likely start Thursday in Toronto.
It is little surprise that Montreal's backup goalie will take the crease after Jake Allen led the Canadiens to a 4-3 victory over the Maple Leafs the night prior. The 28-year-old Lindgren returns to Montreal after 24 career games between 2015-2020 which saw him collect 10 wins on 24 starts while producing a .907 SV%. Lindgren enjoyed success in a small sample size in 2021-22, posting a .958 SV% while winning five of five starts as a member of St.Louis.
The Canadiens have recalled Corey Schueneman from Laval (AHL).
Schueneman split his 2022 season between the AHL and NHL, registering six points (2G / 4A) in 24 games with Montreal. Schueneman takes Mike Matheson's spot on the roster after Matheson was placed on IR.
Goalie Start
Thompson will start the Golden Knights' season opener in Los Angeles.
The 25-year-old rookie will get the first start of the Golden Knights 2022-23 season as he takes the crease against the Los Angeles Kings Tuesday. Thompson enjoyed a successful first taste of the NHL in 2021-22 collecting 10 wins, alongside a 2.68 GAA and a .914 SV% in 19 games played with the Golden Knights.
Dubois (lower-body) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
Dubois was nicked up late in the preseason, and the Jets were being careful with him to ensure he was ready for the start of the season. Returning as a full participant on Tuesday clears the way for him to play on Friday.
The Ducks have claimed Brett Leason off of waivers from the Capitals.
Leason was a second-round pick (No.56 overall) in 2019 and split his 2022 season between the AHL and NHL. During his time with the Capitals, the 6-foot-5, 218 lbs. winger had three goals and three assists in 36 games. Leason will likely battle Pavol Regenda for a bottom-6 role with the Ducks.
The Maple Leafs have signed Rasmus Sandin to a two-year deal worth $2.8 million ($1.4M AAV).
Sandin held out of training camp while he worked out his new deal with the Maple Leafs. Sandin will still be an RFA when this contract expires and should fight for a top-4 role in camp. He had five goals and 11 assists (16 points) in 51 games a season ago.
Chychrun (ankle/wrist) has no timeline for his return to the ice.
Chychrun had to have bone spurs removed from his ankle this summer, in addition to wrist surgery. When he met with reporters on Thursday, he said there's no timeline for him to return to the ice, so it seems as if he's in danger of missing the start of the 2022-23 season.
The Jets have re-signed Pierre-Luc Dubois to a one-year, $6 million contract.
The Capitals have signed Gabriel Carlsson to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Capitals have signed Ludwig Persson to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Capitals selected Persson with the No.85 overall pick in this summer's NHL Draft. The Swedish winger had 61 points (25G / 36A) in 41 games with Vastra Frolunda Jr. (Sweden J20 SuperElit) in 2022.
The Capitals have signed Alexander Suzdalev to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Capitals selected Suzdalev with the No.70 overall pick in this summer's NHL Draft. The Russian winger had 51 points (15G / 36A) in 45 games with HV71 Jr. (Sweden J20 SuperElit) in 2022.
