Hill will tend the home twine against the Flyers on Monday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Hill's first start after returning from a lower-body injury didn't go too well, as he conceded five goals on 28 shots against Toronto on Thursday, but the Golden Knights provided him with enough offensive support en route to a 6-5 overtime win. The 29-year-old has a favorable matchup Monday against a Flyers club that has lost six straight games (0-5-1).

Benoit (upper body) is returning to the lineup for Monday's home contest against the Wild, according to Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.

Benoit will draw back into the lineup in a third-pairing capacity following a brief two-game absence. Due to the 27-year-old's return to game action, Philippe Myers will be a healthy scratch Monday.

Megna was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday.

This will be Megna's fourth stint with the big club this season -- he's played three games for the Golden Knights and 27 for the Silver Knights. Rasmus Andersson (not injury related) isn't available for Monday's matchup against the Flyers, which resulted in Megna being promoted from the minors. The 33-year-old Megna will probably head back to the AHL once Andersson is ready to play for Vegas.

Andersson (not injury related) will not suit up against the Flyers on Monday, SinBin.vegas reports.

Andersson isn't available to make his debut with the Golden Knights on Monday due to immigration issues. To help cover for the absence of Andersson against the Flyers, Jaycob Megna was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday. Andersson's next opportunity to draw into the lineup will be in Boston on Thursday, when Vegas kicks off a four-game road trip.

Ersson is set to start on the road against Vegas on Monday.

Ersson is struggling, going 0-2-0 while allowing eight goals on 47 shots (.830 save percentage) across his past three appearances. This has also been a rough campaign for him overall -- he's 6-8-4 with a 3.43 GAA and an .855 save percentage in 19 outings. Vegas has won its past seven games to improve to 24-11-12 on the season, and the Golden Knights have scored at least six goals in three of their past four games, so it doesn't look like things are going to get any easier for Ersson on Monday.

Nylander (groin) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

In a corresponding move, the Maple Leafs recalled Jacob Quillan from AHL Toronto. Nylander will miss his second straight game against Minnesota on Monday, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has accounted for 17 goals, 48 points and 75 shots on net across 37 appearances this season.

Kiviranta (lower body) was put on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Kiviranta hasn't played since Dec. 29, so he can be activated whenever he's healthy. His move to IR was likely to accommodate the Avalanche's recall of Alex Barre-Boulet from the minors Monday. Kiviranta has a goal and four points in 21 appearances in 2025-26.

Robinson (upper body) is expected to be out for a while, head coach Rod Brind'Amour told Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal on Monday.

Robinson left Monday's 2-1 loss to Buffalo because of the injury. Although he's expected to miss some time, he still needs to be evaluated so the Hurricanes can get a better sense of the severity of his injury. Jesperi Kotkaniemi will probably draw into the lineup Thursday versus Chicago due to Robinson's injury.

Daccord will protect the home goal against Pittsburgh on Monday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Daccord has lost his last two outings while permitting six goals on 59 shots. He has a 12-11-5 record this campaign with a 2.84 GAA, a .901 save percentage and two shutouts across 28 appearances. Pittsburgh ranks 14th in the league with 3.17 goals per game this season.

Allen is expected to defend the road net against Edmonton on Tuesday,

Allen is poised to get the second half of New Jersey's back-to-back after Jacob Markstrom plays in Monday's road matchup against Calgary. The 35-year-old Allen has gone 11-11-1 this campaign with a 2.68 GAA, a .906 save percentage and one shutout. Edmonton sits fourth in the league with 3.40 goals per game this season.
