#2 Logan Thompson

Logan Thompson once again put on a clinic against his former team but this time in his former backyard at T-Mobile Arena. He finished the night with a .952 save percentage and 40 saves off 42 shots to up his win total to 8-0-1. Overall this season he has a 2.63 goals against average and a .913 save percentage.

On the other side of the net Ilya Samsonov would face his former team for the first time since he was traded in 2022. Sammy finished with 20 saves on 24 shots for an .833 save percentage. The loss puts his record 3-2-1 with a 3.15 goals against average and a .897 save percentage.

Thompson would tell assembled media at T-Mobile Arena:

"You forget how many good memories you have here and how much I love it here. The city meant a lot to me, and I love playing in front of the fans. ...But credit to the guys that were here with me and here before or that are no longer here. They really helped me, and I really needed a fresh start. But I couldn't be (happier) to spend my time as a Golden Knight. "
