Golden Knights' Ilya Samsonov: Slated to start Saturday

Samsonov was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate and is slated to get the home start versus San Jose on Saturday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Samsonov will get the second half of Vegas' back-to-back after Adin Hill played in Friday's 6-4 win over Ottawa. The 27-year-old Samsonov has a 2-0-1 record through three appearances this season while surrendering six goals on 107 shots. San Jose has a mark of 0-6-2 heading into Saturday's matchup, scoring only 15 goals.
