Antti Raanta was scheduled to start on Monday but was a very late scratch due to some tightness. Hill’s call-up suggests that Raanta is going to miss at least one game and Hill will backup Darcy Kuemper on Wednesday. Hill has gone 14-10-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .911 SV% with Tucson this season.
Hill gave up five goals on 30 shots in the Coyotes loss to Dallas last Thursday. In his first two NHL starts, Hill has given up a combined seven goals on 63 shots (.889 SV%). Tonight he will try and give the Coyotes their first win of the season as he faces a Rangers team sitting at 2.50 goals for per game so far this year.
Hill stopped 31 of 33 shots in a 3-1 loss in Dallas in his NHL debut on Tuesday. It was a strong debut for the 21-year-old rookie netminder, earning him a second straight start to kick-off his NHL career. The Coyotes are still searching for their first win of the season, but will be in tough vs. the Stars again tonight.
Hill was a third-round pick (No.76 overall) in 2015 and tonight he is expected to make his NHL debut in Dallas. The 21-year-old netminder was 16-14-0 with a 3.16 GAA and .906 SV% in 40 AHL games last year and has stopped 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) this season. He is an extremely risky option vs. the Stars

Hill, 21, was a third round pick in 2015 (No.76 overall) and appeared in 40 games with the Roadrunners last season. The Canadian netminder posted a 3.16 GAA and .906 SV% last year, but has impressed through two starts this season, going 1-1-0 while stopping 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) in two starts with Tucson. He will likely serve as Louis Domingue’s backup on Tuesday.
