Hill will start vs. Los Angeles on Thursday.

Hill has struggled since returning from a prolonged absence due to a lower-body injury, but will tend the twine on Thursday, hoping to head into the Olympic break on a high note. The 29-year-old Hill returned from injury on January 15th and has posted a 3.98 GAA and .837 SV% in six games since (2-3-1). The Golden Knights enter Thursday's contest as -130 home favourites against a low-scoring Los Angeles Kings team that was defeated 4-2 last night by the Seattle Kraken.

Schmid will start vs. Vancouver on Wednesday.

Adin Hill has struggled since returning from a lower-body injury, but the Golden Knights have also not received reliable goaltending from Schmid, who will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 25-year-old Schmid has lost three straight (0-2-1), posting a 3.30 GAA and .870 SV%. He has lost six of his last nine (4-3-2), with a 2.86 GAA and .882 SV%. Still, the Golden Knights enter Wednesday's contest as significant -284 home favourites against a reeling Canucks team that has scored two or fewer goals in five straight games (1-3-1).

Hill will start in Anaheim on Sunday.

The Golden Knights have received inadequate goaltending the last two weeks, with Adin Hill directly at the forefront. The 29-year-old Hill has had trouble finding his footing since returning from a lower-body injury that sidelined him for nearly three months, posting an abysmal 4.18 GAA and .831 SV% in five games (2-2-1). Hill hopes to rebound on Sunday, as the Golden Knights enter as +104 road underdogs against an Anaheim Ducks team that has been outscored 9-4 in its last two games (0-2-0).

Hill will start vs. Dallas on Thursday.

Hill has struggled all season, but is coming off his worst outing so far, allowing seven goals on 31 shots (.774 SV%) in a 7-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators. The 29-year-old Hill has an ugly 4.31 GAA and .825 SV% in four games since returning from a lower-body injury that sidelined him for nearly three months (2-2-0). The Golden Knights enter the action on Thursday as slight -113 home favourites against a Dallas Stars team on their first two-game winning streak in nearly six weeks.
