Vegas Golden Knights News

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.

Schmid will start in Montreal on Tuesday.

The Golden Knights will turn back to Schmid between the pipes on Tuesday after starting Adin Hill in each of the team's previous two games. Schmid saw a personal four-game winning streak come to an end in his last start, when he allowed four goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Bruins on Thursday. The 25-year-old netminder brings a 15-5-5 record and an .896 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Golden Knights enter action at -120 on the money line.

Hill will start in Toronto on Friday.

The Golden Knights will continue their goalie rotation on Friday as Hill gets the nod in Toronto. Hill was tagged with just his second regulation loss of the season in his last start, allowing two goals on 17 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Flyers on Monday. The 29-year-old brings a 7-2-1 record and an .873 SV% into Friday night's matchup against the Maple Leafs, a team Hill defeated just eight days ago. The Golden Knights enter action on Friday at -120 on the money line.

Adin Hill
Schmid will start in Boston on Thursday.

The Golden Knights relied heavily on Carter Hart when he made his debut in December, making Schmid an afterthought, but now with Hart (lower body) sidelined, the team seems keen on rotating between Schmid and the recently activated Adin Hill. The 25-year-old Schmid was excellent in his most recent game, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) in a 7-2 win over the Nashville Predators, and has a 2.05 GAA and .917 SV% during a four-game winning streak. The Golden Knights enter Thursday's contest as -140 road favorites against a Boston Bruins team whose six-game winning streak was snapped on Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to the Dallas Stars.
