Impact Carrier's second-period tally tied the game at 2-2.

The 26-year-old netminder has given up nine goals on 129 shots, good for a .930 save percentage.

Logan Thompson - Tending twine versus Kings Thompson will protect the road goal against the Kings on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Impact Adin Hill took an overtime loss versus the Blackhawks on Friday, so it's not surprising that Thompson will get the second half of a back-to-back. The 26-year-old Thompson has allowed six goals on 90 shots for a .933 save percentage over three games this season. The Kings earned a 5-4 comeback win over the Coyotes on Friday thanks to a deep offense that can score in bunches.

Jonas Rondbjerg - Recalled from AHL Rondbjerg was brought up from AHL Henderson on Saturday.
Impact Rondbjerg has one goal and one assist in two outings with Vegas this season. He also has three helpers in five AHL contests this campaign. Rondbjerg will be an option for Saturday's contest versus the Kings, though he could just be up with the big club as an extra.

Michael Amadio - Sets up opening goal Amadio registered an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Impact Amadio set up Pavel Dorofeyev's tally in the first period. The 27-year-old Amadio has earned three helpers over his last three contests.

Impact Dorofeyev stormed toward the cage and anticipated a perfectly timed pass from Michael Amadio for his first goal of the season. It remains to be seen whether Dorofeyev will remain in the lineup once Nicolas Roy (undisclosed) is ready to return from an injury, but the first order of business for the Golden Knights is Saturday's road clash with the Kings. Dorofeyev is projected to get another third-line look for the upcoming contest.

McNabb, who has been with the Golden Knights since their inaugural 2017-18 campaign, simply looks comfortable out there in his second-pairing role. He has also provided 25 blocked shots and nine hits while averaging 20:08 of ice time.

Unfortunately, Karlsson took a costly tripping penalty in OT that led to Chicago's winning tally. The Vegas forward had had a blistering start to the season, scoring three goals and nine points in eight contests. Karlsson is riding a five-game point streak going into Saturday's contest against the Kings.
