The Vegas Golden Knights have announced that they are going to be without starting goaltender Adin Hill on a week to week basis after he suffered a lower-body injury.
Just days after the Vegas Golden Knights announced that captain Mark Stone would be gone on a week to week basis because of an injury, they've since added another player to that list.
Goaltender Adin Hill is also going to be out on a week to week basis after he suffered a lower body injury on Monday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Hill made a save but went down on the ice and remained down for several minutes before being helped back to the bench by Zach Whitecloud and William Karlsson.
It's not the first injury that Hill has experienced this year, as he was hurt on October 14 against the Calgary Flames and missed the next game against the Boston Bruins.
The Golden Knights are going on a 3 game road trip starting against the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Saturday, and they'll be starting Akira Schmid.
They won't be able to start the newly signed Carter Hart, who is now under contract but isn't eligible to begin playing until December 1.
Hill is 1-0-2 with a 2.73 GAA so far this year.
Adin Hill Won the Stanley Cup in His First Year With the Golden Knights
Hill was taken with the 76th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft by the Arizona Coyotes, who are now the Utah Mammoth.
He started his career with the Coyotes before being traded to the San Jose Sharks in 2021. He played only a single year with the Sharks before being traded again to the Golden Knights in 2022.
He would be the starter for the majority of the playoffs in 2023 and won the Stanley Cup, and would later sign a 6 year contract extension to remain in Sin City.
