Golden Knights’ Thompson week-to-week with lower-body injury

Vegas Golden Knights rookie goaltender Logan Thompson is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Thompson appeared to hurt himself on a non-contact play during Thursday's 5-1 victory against the Minnesota Wild. He didn't put any weight on his left leg as he exited the ice.

The Golden Knights recalled goaltender Laurent Brossoit from the AHL in a corresponding move.

Thompson has run with the starting job in Vegas while posting a .914 save percentage and 2.66 goals against average across 36 appearances.

The 25-year-old is considered one of the top candidates for the Calder Trophy behind Seattle Kraken star Matty Beniers. Thompson, who represented the Golden Knights at the All-Star Game, is one of nine goalies to hit the 20-win mark so far this campaign.

The Golden Knights have been hit hard by injuries of late, with Captain Mark Stone out indefinitely after undergoing his second back surgery in less than a year.
