Hill is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Adin Hill suffered a lower-body injury and could not finish the Golden Knights' most recent game, replaced by Akira Schmid in the first period. The Golden Knights recalled Carl Lindbom from the Henderson Golden Knights (AHL) and he is expected to make his NHL debut between the pipes on an upcoming back-to-back this weekend. That said, expect Schmid to see most of the action in Hill's absence. The 29-year-old Hill has a 2.73 GAA and .888 SV% in five appearances this season (1-0-2).

Hill will start Vegas' season opener on Wednesday vs. Los Angeles.
