Who has the most ties plus OT/SO losses in one season for the Vegas Golden Knights?

Marc-Andre Fleury is one of the most underappreciated goaltenders of our hockey generation. He might not be as flashy as Roberto Luongo or steady like Carey Price. However, "Flower" has become a legendary player for two NHL franchises. He's carved a name for himself in the hockey landscape, earning respect from his peers.

That includes taking the lion's share of franchise records for the Vegas Golden Knights. It doesn't matter if it's all-time wins or best GAA in a season. Fleury holds that record. It's something goaltenders like Logan Thompson hope to achieve, especially with "Flower" winding down his career.

But what if I told you his dominance also included the Pittsburgh Penguins record books? Here, he holds all-time records such as career wins (375), saves (17,774), and goals against average (2.58). Such excellence is underrated in the NHL landscape, which makes his legendary status grow.

However, there's one Golden Knights record where he's not the sole leader. I know it's shocking, Jack Eichel and Mark Stone. But it's true! One particular category was tied last season, leaving Fleury's untouchable streak blemished. Who's the culprit behind this madness? What record did they tie during the regular season? It's time to dive into the case and see who the perpetrator is!

Logan Thompson tied Marc-Andre Fleury for most ties plus OT/SO losses in a single season in 2023-24

Marc-Andre Fleury did something mind-boggling in 2018-19 and 2019-20. He posted five ties plus/SO losses (okay, it's only OT/SO losses) in each season. Now that might not seem like much. But it showed the consistency Flower was known for, even if it was on the losing end. Taking your opponent to overtime is a big deal, for you're getting a point from it. While you would've loved to grab the other point, getting one moves you further up in the standings.

However, that record was tied last season by Logan Thompson. The former Vegas Golden Knights goaltender finished with a record of 25-14-5, along with a GAA of 2.70 and a save percentage of 9.08. Thompson played 46 games with the team, starting 42 times for Vegas. He proved to be a worthy goaltender, whether in the regular season or Stanley Cup playoffs.

Still, the legendary Fleury can claim to be the Golden Knights's franchise goalie. Not only does he carry that distinction in Las Vegas, but he's also known as such in Pittsburgh. He was a key contributor to the franchise's Stanley Cup victories (three won during his career). Not many people can say that and it's something Thompson can work for.
