Thompson allowed 2 goals on 28 shots against the Flyers in Las Vegas in a 3-2 win Oct. 24. He is likely to get the starting nod over Adin Hill, who won last time out in Montreal Thursday, although he allowed 5 goals.
Hart kicked aside 31 of the 32 shots he faced in a 3-1 road win against the Hurricanes on Wednesday. He was on the short end of that 3-2 loss at Vegas, stopping 26 of the 29 shots he faced.

Golden Knights at Flyers picks and predictions
Prediction
Golden Knights 3, Flyers 2
Moneyline
The GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-152) are worth playing as moderate favorites.
While a matinee game would normally be bad news on the East Coast for a team from the Western Conference, VGK has acclimated with a pair of games this week in the Eastern Time Zone.
The Flyers (+126) are a risky play despite the 3-game winning streak, as they haven't been able to win on home ice lately.
Puck line/Against the spread
The Flyers +1.5 (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, if you don't like them straight up and would like some insurance instead. That's too much risk and not enough reward.
PASS.
Over/Under
UNDER 5.5 (+110) is a solid play at plus-money.
We saw a total of 5 goals in the first game, so it could be close. And Vegas hit the Over in Montreal Wednesday night, but the Under had been 4-0 in the previous 4 outings for the Golden Knights.
The total went low in 3 of 4 games for Philly on the recently concluded road trip, while going 6-1-1 in the past 8 games overall.
