Hill will start for the sixth time this season and look to improve on an unspectacular 3.85 GAA and .864 SV% through five games (3-2-0). The Golden Knights, riding a three-game winning streak, enter the action on Monday as -164 home favorites against the Calgary Flames.

After serving as the backup to Ilya Samsonov for the last two games, the Golden Knights will return to Adin Hill between the pipes on Friday against the Ottawa Senators.

That said, the Golden Knights enter action on Friday as -125 home favorites against the Senators.
