Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Gets little help in Toronto
Rotowire
Hill stopped 23 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Maple Leafs, with Toronto's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Hill kept things close until the third period, but the Vegas offense never woke up. The 28-year-old netminder has seen a heavy workload in November, going 4-2-1 while starting seven of the team's eight games with a 2.95 GAA and .896 save percentage. With Ilya Samsonov healthy again, Hill could begin to get a little more rest.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Grabs road win
Rotowire
Hill stopped 22 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Hill had lost his last two outings, but a matchup with the lowly Ducks' offense got him back on track. One of the goals came late in the third period to make things interesting. Hill has won three of his five starts in November, allowing a total of 15 goals in that span. He's now 7-3-1 on the year with a 3.27 GAA and an .879 save percentage across 11 appearances this season. Hill continues to see a heavy workload while Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed) is out, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Hill start again Friday in Utah.

Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed) isn't on the Golden Knights' road trip, so it's no surprise Hill will be between the pipes.

The Kraken have had trouble scoring consistently in recent weeks, so this is a favorable matchup for the 28-year-old netminder.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Allows three goals in overtime win
Rotowire
Hill stopped 16 of 19 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.
Hill didn't have a great game, but that was partially because the Golden Knights controlled the pace of play despite the close score. He has earned three straight wins, but he's allowed at least three goals in six of his seven outings this season. The only exception to that trend was his shutout win over the Flames on Monday. He's 5-2-0 with a 3.15 GAA and an .874 save percentage. Don't let the flashy record fool you -- that kind of performance could lead to collapse at any point. The Golden Knights will be searching for their first road win of 2024-25 against Edmonton on Wednesday.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Perfect in win Monday
Rotowire
Hill stopped 16 shots in a 5-0 shutout win over the Flames on Monday.
Hill didn't have a lot of work throughout the game, as the Golden Knights found the back of the net in each period to cruise to an easy victory. The 28-year-old netminder needed a bounce-back performance like Monday's, as his .878 save percentage across six appearances in 2024-25 remains noticeably below his career average of .909. Hill will try to keep the momentum going when the Golden Knights take on the Kings on Wednesday.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Another four goals go past
Rotowire
Hill made 21 saves on 25 shots Thursday in a 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay.
Hill came so close to the win. The Golden Knights were leading 3-2 until the 17:38 mark of the third period when Brandon Hagel tied things up. Then Nikita Kucherov fired in the winner from along the goal line with 55 seconds left, as the puck went off a defender's skate and past Hill. It was an unlucky bounce for the twinetender, who has scuffled so far this season. Hill is 2-2-0 with a 3.81 GAA and .851 save percentage. He has allowed four goals in three of his four starts and has surrendered 15 goals overall.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Allows four again
Rotowire
Hill made 18 saves in a 4-2 loss to Washington on Tuesday.
He'll go into the record book for being the goalie who was on the ice when Alex Ovechkin recorded his 700th career assist. Prior to Tuesday, Hill had gotten by with wobbly play because the Knights pounded the scoreboard. But not Tuesday. Hill is now 2-1, but with 11 goals allowed and a .874 save percentage. We're sure it's merely a slow start to the season, but Ilya Samsonov waits in the wings.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Leaves ice first Tuesday
Rotowire
Hill was the first goalie off Tuesday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road versus Washington.
Hill is undefeated through two starts to open the 2024-25 campaign despite posting a 3.50 GAA and a .870 save percentage. If the netminder can't improve on those numbers soon, he will find victories significantly more difficult to come by. Hill will likely face a busy night in Washington, as the Caps are registering 32.0 shots per game (seventh most in the league).
