Injured Knights goalie still ‘nowhere near being on the ice’
Golden Knights goaltender Logan Thompson is “doing well” in his recovery from a lower-body injury but “nowhere near being on the ice,” coach Bruce Cassidy said Wednesday.
Thompson is week to week after getting hurt Feb. 9 against the Minnesota Wild. He’s expected to return this season.
Thompson is 20-13-3 with a .914 save percentage and 2.66 goals-against average. He was named to the Pacific Division All-Star team after an impressive first half.
Cassidy also said center Nicolas Roy and goaltender Laurent Brossoit are not skating. Both are day to day with lower-body injuries.
Roy is tied for ninth on the Knights in scoring with 25 points in 54 games. Brossoit is 1-0-2 with a .936 save percentage and 2.20 GAA after getting called up when Thompson was hurt.
Cassidy said Brossoit’s injury is separate from the one that led to the 29-year-old’s offseason hip surgery.
