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.

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).

Howden has not played since October 11th, sidelined with a lower-body injury, but returned to practice on Wednesday and is hopeful of returning to Vegas' lineup on Saturday against Florida. The 27-year-old Howden had one point (1G / 0A) and six hits in three games before his injury.

Megna has played sparingly at the NHL level over the previous several seasons, but has 27 points (4G / 23A) in 193 career games. The 32-year-old defenseman spent most of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, tallying 16 points (2G / 14A) in 64 games with the Charlotte Checkers.

Stone was limited to only 13:12 time-on-ice in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Calgary Flames, exiting the contest due to a wrist injury. The 33-year-old Stone scored four points (2G / 2A) before departing the game, and has 13 points (2G / 11A) in six contests this season.

Adin Hill (lower body) was back at practice on Thursday, but the Golden Knights will roll with Schmid between the pipes on Thursday against the Boston Bruins. The 25-year-old Schmid has been impressive early in his Golden Knights' tenure, posting a 1.80 GAA and .929 SV% through two appearances (2-0-0). The Golden Knights enter the action on Thursday as sizable -227 home favorites against a Bruins team outscoring their opposition 13-4 through four games this season (3-1-0).

Hill was able to finish the first period of Tuesday's game but was replaced by Akira Schmid to start the second. We should get an update on his status ahead of Vegas' game against the Bruins on Thursday.

Reinhardt will make his Golden Knights debut on Tuesday, slotting in for the injured Brett Howden (lower-body). Reinhardt had one goal and one assist in 17 games with the Senators last season.

Howden was a surprise scratch on Tuesday, with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Cole Reinhardt will draw into the lineup in his place.

Hill will make his third start of the young season when the Golden Knights travel to Calgary on Tuesday. The 29-year-old netminder is still in search of his first win of the new campaign after falling 2-1 in overtime against the Kraken on Saturday. It was the second overtime loss in as many outings for Hill, who owns an .854 SV% and 3.24 GAA. He's a good bet to get into the win column for the first time this season on Tuesday, as Vegas enters action at -175 on the money line.

Hanifin was a late scratch on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks due to an undisclosed injury. The 24-year-old Hanifin played 24:00 time-on-ice in the Golden Knights' season-opener and it's unclear if he will be ready when Vegas return to the ice on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, a night after a season-opening 6-5 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings, the Golden Knights will turn to Schmid between the pipes on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. Schmid spent most of the 2024-25 season with the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL), but was excellent in limited NHL action with the Golden Knights, posting a 1.26 GAA and .944 SV% in five appearances (2-0-1). If the 25-year-old Schmid can put together some strong performances early, he could be in line for topping his career-high of 19 games played in a season. The Golden Knights enter Thursday's contest as -194 road favorites against a Sharks team that finished last season with the worst record in the NHL (20-50-12).
