Samsonov is now 9-3-1 with a 2.74 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 13 starts this season after his first shutout of the campaign. The Golden Knights have some favorable matchups over the remainder of their homestand, with games against the Canadiens on Tuesday, the Flyers on Thursday and the Sabres on Saturday.

Expected starter for Sunday Samsonov is set to start at home against Calgary on Sunday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Impact Samsonov has won his past three starts while stopping 60 of 65 shots (.923 save percentage). He's 8-3-1 with a 2.97 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 12 outings this season. Calgary ranks 25th in goals per game with 2.71, and the Flames will be on the second half of a back-to-back, so this should be a favorable assignment for Samsonov.

Defeats Kraken Samsonov stopped 21 of 23 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

For the season, the 27-year-old netminder is 8-3-1 with a 2.97 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 12 starts. The Golden Knights' next game is at home versus the Ducks on Monday, but it's not clear if Samsonov will get a chance to build some momentum or if Adin Hill will take his turn in the crease.

Picks up win Sunday Samsonov stopped 20 of 22 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Impact Samsonov has won four of his last five outings, allowing a total of 15 goals in that span. The 27-year-old allowed both goals to Kirill Kaprizov in Sunday's contest, but the Golden Knights supported him with two goals by Victor Olofsson and one from Shea Theodore. Samsonov is up to 7-3-1 with a 3.06 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 11 starts. Adin Hill remains Vegas' top goalie, but Samsonov has been generally steady enough in the backup role. The team has just three more games before the holiday break, so it's unclear if Samsonov will get a start in that span.

Cruises to win Wednesday Samsonov stopped 19 of 20 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Jackson LaCombe tallied late in the second period, but that was all Samsonov gave up. He bounced back from a 6-0 shutout loss to Utah on Saturday, earning his third win in his last four outings with one of his better games of the season. Samsonov improved to 6-3-1 with a 3.16 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 10 appearances. While Samsonov played well, Adin Hill is likely to get the nod Friday at home versus the Stars.

In goal Wednesday Samsonov will start on the road versus the Ducks, per Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett

Impact Samsonov has allowed 16 goals over his last four contests, so he's fortunate to go 2-2-0 in that span. Adin Hill has been playing better of late, but Samsonov will get the start Wednesday in the second half of a back-to-back set.

Gets no support in loss Samsonov allowed six goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 6-0 loss to Utah.

Impact Samsonov didn't play well, but his teammates didn't give him any support, failing to take advantage of Jaxson Stauber's lack of NHL experience. This was the fifth time Samsonov has allowed four or more goals in an appearance this season. The 27-year-old netminder dropped to 5-3-1 with a 3.39 GAA and an .892 save percentage over nine contests. Adin Hill has played better of late, and while the Golden Knights have given their goalies equal shares of playing time over the last eight games, Samsonov could see his usage reduced if he can't get back on track soon.
