Thompson stopped 28 of 31 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Thompson has now lost back-to-back starts, though it's hardly his fault after putting in solid efforts. The 27-year-old has given up 10 goals on 127 shots through four playoff contests. Thompson's status as the starting goalie in the playoffs could come into question if he doesn't get back into the win column soon, but it's unclear if head coach Bruce Cassidy will stay the course or turn to Adin Hill for Game 5 on Wednesday.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Strong effort in overtime loss
Rotowire
Thompson allowed three goals on 46 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
Thompson's performance was a big reason the game got deep into overtime, as he came up with a handful of big saves against a desperate Stars team. It wasn't enough in the end, as Wyatt Johnston closed the scoring with a top-shelf goal in the extra session. Thompson has allowed seven goals on 96 shots while going 2-1 in the first-round series, and it's unlikely this loss will cost him the starting job. Game 4 is Monday in Vegas.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Set to start Saturday
Rotowire
Thompson is expected to start at home in Game 3 against Dallas on Saturday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Thompson has helped Vegas win the opening two games of the first-round series by stopping 46 of 50 shots (.920 save percentage). That's part of a larger hot streak in which he's posted a 2.12 GAA and a .925 save percentage over his past 13 appearances. Dallas ranked third offensively in the regular season with 3.59 goals per contest, so the Stars shouldn't be taken lightly, even after being defeated by Vegas twice.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Steady in Game 2 win
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 20 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.
Thompson has opened the playoffs with a pair of wins. He gave up only a power-play goal to Jason Robertson in the first period of this one, with the Golden Knights scoring the next three tallies for the win. Thompson has allowed seven goals during his four-game winning streak. At this point, the 27-year-old looks to have the starting role locked down, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get the nod for Saturday's Game 3 back in Vegas.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Takes down Stars
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 1.
The Golden Knights led 3-2 after the first period, and Thompson was solid after that. The 27-year-old has won six of his last eight outings, and he's allowed no more than three goals in any of those wins. The Golden Knights alternated goalies late in the regular season, but Thompson may get a run as the starter since Adin Hill struggled in his three appearances leading up to the playoffs. Game 2 is Wednesday in Dallas.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Leave ice first Monday
Rotowire
Thompson was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road for Game 1 against the Stars.
Thompson is coming off a solid regular season in which he set new personal bests in games played (46) and wins (25). The 27-year-old netminder's hold on the starting gig is tenuous at best considering he had been splitting time with Adin Hill to end the regular season, though Hill has struggled in recent games.

The 27-year-old improved to 25-14-5 with a 2.70 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 46 contests. Adin Hill is slated to start the regular-season finale Thursday versus the Ducks, but Thompson has enough momentum to deserve a chance to play in the postseason.

Thompson played well in his last start Friday against the Wild, stopping 25 of 27 shots en route to a 7-2 blowout victory.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Steady in win
Rotowire
Thompson allowed two goals on 27 shots in Friday's 7-2 win over the Wild.
Thompson bounced back from a two-game losing streak to get the win that secured the Golden Knights' playoff spot. They'll be on the road in the first round, but their opponent remains uncertain. Thompson has stepped up to handle a starting role with Adin Hill's recent injury struggles. Thompson is at 24-14-5 with a 2.74 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 45 appearances. With positioning still to play for, it's unclear how head coach Bruce Cassidy will assign the starts in goal over the final three regular-season contests.

Golden Knights' Logan Thompson: Blitzed in third period
Rotowire
Thompson stopped 25 of 31 shots in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Coyotes. The seventh goal was an empty-netter.
Thompson was on his way to another strong outing after two periods, but the Coyotes went ballistic in the third to hand him one of his ugliest losses of the season. The 27-year-old dropped to 23-13-5 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 43 outings overall after losing for the first time since March 2. One setback is unlikely to unseat Thompson from the starting role, especially since Adin Hill (lower body) is not close to a return. The Golden Knights' next game is a challenging road contest in Vancouver on Monday.

Thompson is on a four-game winning streak, though this was the first time he's given up more than a goal in that span.
