Ilya Samsonov - Page 5 - NHL News & Rumors

Set to start against Utah Samsonov will protect the home goal versus Utah on Saturday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact Samsonov has won his last two starts, giving up six goals on 76 shots in that span. The 27-year-old will face a Utah team that lost 4-3 in overtime to the Oilers on Friday night. Jaxson Stauber is in the other crease, so Vegas may be able to generate significant offense against an inexperienced goalie, giving Samsonov a good chance of earning a win.

Hangs on for shootout win Samsonov turned aside 32 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Philly grabbed a 3-0 lead just 28 seconds into the second period as a Vegas blue line missing Alex Pietrangelo (upper body) and Zach Whitecloud (upper body) struggled early, but Samsonov kept his focus gave his team a chance to mount a comeback. The 27-year-old goalie missed the first couple weeks of November with an undisclosed injury, but he's moved back into a timeshare with Adin Hill since returning to the crease. On the season, Samsonov sports a 5-2-1 record in eight starts with a 3.08 GAA and .904 save percentage.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • HOCKEYBUZZ.COM

Nabs fourth win Samsonov made 38 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

Impact The 27-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but he was able to weather a furious Ottawa comeback attempt that saw the home squad fire 18 shots at Samsonov in the final frame alone. It's his first win since Oct. 26, having missed the first couple weeks of November due to an undisclosed injury, and on the season Samsonov is 4-2-1 in seven starts with a 2.99 GAA and .906 save percentage. He's been in the crease for two of Vegas' last three games, and now that Samsonov is healthy again, the team could be shifting to more of a timeshare between him and Adin Hill.

Between pipes Thursday Samsonov will tend the twine for Thursday's road clash with the Senators, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact Samsonov has played in just one of the Knights' last eight contests while dealing with an undisclosed injury. In his lone appearance, the Russian backstop gave up four goals on 24 shots (.833 save percentage) in a losing effort to the Capitals on Sunday. Unless he can pick up his performance level, Samsonov could find himself firmly cemented in the No. 2 role behind Adin Hill.

Slips up against former team Samsonov stopped 20 of 24 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Samsonov got his first start since Oct. 30, having missed five games due to an undisclosed injury before returning in a backup role Friday at Utah. There was a little rust for Samsonov, who took his second straight loss despite the Golden Knights driving play toward the Capitals' end. He's now 3-2-1 with a 3.15 GAA and an .897 save percentage over six starts. He likely won't have to wait long for his next start, as the Golden Knights open a road trip with a back-to-back at Toronto on Wednesday and at Ottawa on Thursday.

Tending twine Sunday Samsonov will be between the pipes for Sunday's home tilt against the Capitals, Jesse Granger of The Athletic relays.

Impact Samsonov will make his sixth start of the season Sunday -- it's the Russian netminder's first appearance since allowing six goals in a loss to the Kings on Oct. 30. The 27-year-old spent the first three years of his career with the Capitals, and he's 2-1-0 with an .897 save percentage and a 2.67 GAA against his former club. Washington has scored 67 goals through 16 games.

Set for backup duties Samsonov (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to back up Adin Hill in Friday's road game versus Utah.

Impact Vegas sent down Akira Schmid on Thursday and didn't recall him prior to Friday's game, which further confirms Samsonov has moved past his injury. This will be Samsonov's first game in uniform in November. The Golden Knights have a back-to-back Wednesday and Thursday of next week, so that may be when he next gets back between the pipes for a start.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not suiting up Wednesday Samsonov (undisclosed) won't suit up versus the Ducks on Wednesday.

Impact It's unclear if Samsonov is on the Golden Knights' current road trip. Adin Hill will start a fifth straight game and Akira Schmid will serve as backup Wednesday. Samsonov's injury isn't believed to be a long-term concern, but it's unclear if he'll be available for Friday's game in Utah.

Impact Samsonov's next opportunity to play will come Monday versus the Hurricanes. The good news is coach Bruce Cassidy doesn't believe Samsonov's injury will keep him on the shelf for a long duration. The 27-year-old netminder has a 3-1-1 record, 2.95 GAA and .906 save percentage in five appearances in 2024-25. Akira Schmid is serving as Adin Hill's understudy during Samsonov's absence.

Unavailable Saturday Samsonov won't dress for Saturday's home tilt against Utah due to an undisclosed injury, per SinBin.vegas.

Impact Adin Hill will start Saturday while Akira Schmid will serve as the backup goaltender. Samsonov has a 3-1-1 record, 2.95 GAA and .906 save percentage in five appearances in 2024-25. Hill has gotten off to a rough start, posting a 3.20 GAA and an .878 save percentage across six outings, but he might get leaned on heavily if Samsonov misses a significant stretch of time.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Yields six goals in loss Samsonov allowed six goals on 27 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Samsonov allowed the first four goals of the game, and the Golden Knights weren't able to create much of a comeback effort. This was easily his worst start of the campaign, and he's now allowed 10 goals on 76 shots over his two road outings. Samsonov is 3-1-1 with a 2.95 GAA and a .906 save percentage through five starts. He's alternated games with Adin Hill over the last five contests -- if that pattern holds, Hill would start Saturday at home versus Utah while Samsonov would line up for a road start in Edmonton next Wednesday.
