Hill will start in Colorado on Wednesday.

Hill will return to the Golden Knights' crease tonight after Ilya Samsonov got the nod in Monday's 5-4 shootout victory over the Flyers. Hill picked up the victory his last time out, allowing two goals on 17 shots in a 6-2 victory in Montreal on Saturday. He owns an impressive 9-4-1 record on the season despite an underwhelming .887 SV%. He'll have to be at his best tonight against Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche.

Karlsson (personal) is expected to rejoin Vegas' lineup in Colorado on Wednesday.

Karlsson did not play on Monday, being a late scratch due to personal reasons, but will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 32-year-old Karlsson missed the beginning portion of the season due to an injury but has been productive since joining the club, scoring 10 points (4G / 6A) in 13 games.

Pietrangelo (upper-body) is expected to return in Colorado on Wednesday.

Pietrangelo was a surprise scratch prior to warmups last Thursday and has not played since due to an upper-body injury. The 34-year-old Pietrangelo is having a productive season from the Golden Knights' blueline, averaging 21:55 time-on-ice and scoring 14 points (2G / 12A) in 19 games.

Samsonov will start in Philadelphia on Monday.

Samsonov will somewhat surprisingly make his eighth start of the season when the Golden Knights travel to Philadelphia to take on the Flyers on Monday. Samsonov was excellent his last time out, allowing just two goals on 40 shots in a 3-2 victory in Ottawa on Thursday. He owns a 4-2-1 record to go along with a .906 SV% and a 2.99 GAA on the season. Vegas enters action as -140 road favourites over the Flyers on Monday.

Vegas has signed Brett Howden to a five-year, $12.5 million contract extension ($2,500,000 AAV).

Howden is in his fourth season with Vegas and will remain a Golden Knight for five more season after signing a five-year, $12.5 million contract extension ($2,500,000 AAV) on Friday. The 26-year-old is in his seventh NHL season and is having his most productive career year to date, on pace for 33 goals after scoring eight in his first 20 games to start 2024-25.

Samsonov will start in Ottawa on Thursday.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, after losing 3-0 to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night, the Golden Knights will turn to Samsonov in net. Samsonov has not played much lately, partly due to injury, and is sporting a pedestrian 3.15 GAA and .897 SV% in six games this season (3-2-1). The Golden Knights enter the action as +140 road underdogs against an Ottawa Senators club amid a three-game losing skid.

Ilya Samsonov
Hagg has been recalled from Henderson (AHL).

Hagg is no stranger to the NHL, with 343 games of NHL experience, but has primarily played in the AHL the past two seasons. He has eight points (1G / 7A) in 14 games with the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL). Hagg's call-up may just be precautionary as Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore are both reportedly banged up.

Samsonov is expected to start in Ottawa on Thursday.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, after losing 3-0 to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night, the Golden Knights will likely turn to Samsonov in net. Samsonov has not played much lately, partly due to injury, and is sporting a pedestrian 3.15 GAA and .917 SV% in six games this season (3-2-1). The Golden Knights enter the action as +140 road underdogs against an Ottawa Senators club amid a three-game losing skid.

Ilya Samsonov
Hill will start in Toronto on Wednesday.

After a 5-2 loss to the Washington Capitals with Ilya Samsonov in net, the Golden Knights will revert to Hill on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 28-year-old Hill has an unspectacular 3.16 GAA and .885 SV% in 12 games (8-3-1) but has won two straight, posting an impressive .929 SV%. The Golden Knights enter the action on Wednesday as +110 road underdogs against a Maple Leafs club still without Auston Matthews (upper body).
