Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Beaten seven times Sunday
Rotowire
Hill stopped 24 of 31 shots in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Senators.
Making just his fourth start since returning from a lower-body injury that caused him to miss 38 consecutive games between Oct. 25 and Jan. 14, Hill posted an underwhelming effort while allowing a season-worst seven goals. The sample is small, as Hill has made just nine appearances (eight starts) this season, but this is the third time in which he's allowed five or more goals. The 29-year-old owns a 3.53 GAA and an .855 save percentage this season. This was the first time Hill made consecutive starts since Oct. 18 and Oct. 20.

Rotowire
Hill is set to start on the road versus the Maple Leafs on Friday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Hill has allowed seven goals on 45 shots while going 1-1-0 in two games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The Maple Leafs have lost four of their last five games (1-2-2), scoring 14 goals in that span. Hill was between the pipes for Vegas' 6-5 overtime win over Toronto on Jan. 15.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: First regulation loss this season
Rotowire
Hill stopped 15 of 17 shots on goal in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.
Across his first seven appearances of the season, Monday's game marks Hill's first regulation loss after he allowed a goal to Philadelphia's Travis Konecny in both the first and third periods. With the loss, Hill now holds a 2-1-2 record, a 3.01 GAA and an .873 save percentage on the year. Despite struggling over the small sample size, the 29-year-old goaltender should be heavily featured down the stretch as the Golden Knights inch closer to securing a playoff spot in the Pacific Division. While the numbers aren't great, Hill should earn a decent number of wins behind Vegas' offense, making him a decent backup option in two-goalie fantasy formats. His next chance to bounce back is Thursday in Boston.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Set to start at home
Rotowire
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).

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Rough start in overtime win
Rotowire
Hill stopped 23 of 28 shots in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
Hill was playing in his first game in nearly three months after battling a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old gave up three goals within the first 10 minutes, but the Maple Leafs' offense lost its touch when William Nylander (lower body) exited the contest. The Golden Knights were able to battle back, giving Hill a win in his return. He's now 2-0-2 on the season, but he's allowed 15 goals on 117 shots (.872 save percentage). It may take a few games for Hill to fully shake off the rust, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him share the crease with Akira Schmid. Vegas hosts Nashville on Saturday.

Rotowire
Hill (lower body) won't play in Wednesday's road matchup against the Kings, but he is nearing a return to the lineup, per SinBin Vegas on Tuesday.
Hill has been out since Oct. 20 against Columbus and could be an option for Thursday's home contest against Toronto. He has a 1-0-2 record while stopping 79 of the 89 shots he has faced in five appearances this season. With Carter Hart (lower body) week-to-week, Hill could seize control of Vegas' No. 1 goalie role once he receives the green light to play.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Injured in Monday's game
Rotowire
Hill sustained a lower-body injury in Monday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes, and there was no update on his status after the game, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Hill was replaced by Akira Schmid between the pipes after the former landed awkwardly on his left leg and needed to be helped off the ice midway through the first period, per Steve Carp of The Sporting Tribune. If Hill is forced to miss any time, Carl Lindbom will likely be elevated from AHL Henderson, as Carter Hart (suspension), who signed a professional tryout contract with Vegas on Thursday, isn't eligible to play for the team until Dec. 1. The Golden Knights aren't back in action until Saturday, when they begin a three-game road trip against the Panthers, so an update on Hill's status may not be known in the immediate future.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Pours cold water on Flames
Rotowire
Hill stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Flames.
The Golden Knights' offense was humming, and Hill never let the Flames get too close after allowing a power-play goal to Jonathan Huberdeau in the first period. This was Hill's first win of the year -- he was injured in Tuesday's contest in Calgary, but Vegas was behind when he left that game. Hill is 1-0-2 with 10 goals allowed on 85 shots, so he still has some work to do to get his numbers on track. A tough test is ahead, as the Golden Knights host the undefeated Hurricanes on Monday.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Takes shootout loss in opener
Rotowire
Hill stopped 21 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Kings.
Hill's season debut wasn't great, especially after he allowed two goals over the last nine minutes to squander a 5-3 lead. The 29-year-old stopped just one of three attempts in the shootout to complete the Golden Knights' collapse. The good news is that his team's offense is looking strong early on, which should give Hill some leeway if he's unable to replicate his 2.47 GAA and .906 save percentage from 50 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. Should Hill struggle, Akira Schmid could get a chance to carve out a timeshare in the crease. It'll likely be Schmid between the pipes for Thursday's contest in San Jose as the Golden Knights begin a three-game road trip.
