Samsonov will start Thursday in Philadelphia.
Lehner is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Lehner has been evaluated by doctors and the Golden Knights believe that he will be available to play "sooner than later." Laurent Brossoit is expected to get a few consecutive starts while Lehner is on the shelf.
Goalie Start
Samsonov will start Tuesday in Nashville.
Hagg will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Hagg has played in 12 straight games but will be a healthy scratch vs. the Islanders on Tuesday. Mark Pysyk will draw back into the lineup to replace him.
The Golden Knights have placed Mark Stone (back) on LTIR.
Stone has been battling a back issue all season, so he'll get some time to rehab. The move also clears cap space for the Golden Knights to activate Jack Eichel (neck) ahead of his debut on Wednesday. Golden Knights GM said that it's impossible for the team to predict how long they will be without Stone but that they are hopeful that surgery will not be required.
Eichel will make his Golden Knights debut on Wednesday.
Eichel was acquired from the Sabres in early November and has been cleared to make his debut on Wednesday after missing the first four and a half months following neck surgery. To make room for Eichel, the Golden Knights had to put Mark Stone (back) on LTIR. Eichel will start on the top line with Max Pacioretty and Evgenii Dadonov in his debut, as well as the top power-play unit.

Stone (upper-body) will not play Wednesday in Calgary.
The Golden Knights are in the second half of a back-to-back and Stone will not be available against the Flames. Evgeni Dadonov will likely move up to into the top-6 to replace Stone.
Whitecloud has a broken bone in his foot and will miss the Golden Knights two-game road trip.
Whitecloud missed the Golden Knights' final game before the All-Star break and will miss at least the first two games after. For now, he's been ruled out for the two-game road trip, so monitor his status as the Golden Knights return home for next Wednesday's game vs. the Avalanche.
Eichel (neck) was a full participant in Monday's practice.
Eichel removed the no-contact jersey and was a full participant in Monday's practice. Eichel skated on the "fifth" line with Nolan Patrick and Michael Amadio, so he's not ready to play yet, but he is nearing his Golden Knights debut.
Goalie Start
Samsonov will start Wednesday vs. the Oilers.

Lehner led the Golden Knights onto the ice for warmups.
The Golden Knights have placed Nic Hague (undisclosed) on IR.
Mayo (COVID-19 protocol) will return to the Coyotes lineup on Tuesday.
Hague (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Hague was listed as day-to-day on Monday but has been upgraded to a game-time decision. The Golden Knights are already without Alec Martinez and Zach Whitecloud, so missing Hague as well would leave them very shorthanded on the blueline.
Pearson (COVID-19 protocol) will be back in the Canucks lineup on Tuesday.
Pearson has missed the last four games while in COVID-19 protocol but will play Tuesday in Nashville. It's unclear who Pearson will replace but he should be back in the Canucks' top-6. He's scored seven goals with 11 assists (18 points) in 41 games this season.
Hague is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury; questionable to play Tuesday.
Hague is day-to-day and not expected to play Tuesday vs. the Sabres, but Alec Martinez was on the ice on Monday and could draw back in to replace him.
