The Golden Knights are riding a two-game winning streak and will likely return to Hill between the pipes for the fifth straight game. Hill has allowed three or more goals in five straight (2-3-0), posting a sub-.900 SV% in all but one contest. That said, the Golden Knights enter action as -161 road favourites against a Calgary Flames club that defeated them 3-1 on January 13th.
The Maple Leafs will turn to Samsonov for the third time in the last four games on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Samsonov has won three straight, allowing six total goals, including saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in his last outing. The Maple Leafs defeated the Flyers 4-3 in overtime on February 15th when Samsonov saved 29 of 32 shots (.906 SV%).
Hill will get the call for a fourth consecutive game when the Golden Knights travel to Seattle on Tuesday. The 27-year-old netminder snapped a personal three-game losing streak his last time out, stopping 23 of the 26 shots he faced in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Red Wings. After a dominant start to his season, Hill has struggled over the last month, posting a 2-6-0 record and an .881 SV% across his last nine appearances. Luckily for Hill, he's in a good spot to secure a second consecutive victory for the first time since February 8th with Vegas being -150 favourites over the Kraken on Tuesday.
Howden has missed the last eight games with an upper-body injury but, after returning to practice on Monday, is expected to draw back into the Golden Knights lineup on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. In 54 games this season, Howden has 13 points (5G / 8A), 56 shots, and 63 hits.
Dorofeyev has been out since January 26th due to an upper-body injury but has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to return on Saturday. The 23-year-old left-winger will be a welcome addition to the injured Golden Knights lineup, as he had seven goals, 14 points, 63 SOG, four PIMs and a +5 plus/minus through 29 games played.
Stone has been on Long-Term Injured Reserve since February 20th and has confirmed Friday that he will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 regular season due to a lacerated spleen. The 31-year-old was having an excellent season prior to his injury, with 16 goals, 53 points, 117 SOG, and 22 SOG through 56 GP.
Morelli was the odd man out of the Golden Knights' roster after Friday's trade deadline deals and was reassigned to Henderson (AHL). The 28-year-old left-winger impressed during his first, but limited appearance with the Golden Knights with three goals, four points, nine SOG and a -3 plus/minus in nine games played.
The most surprising deal on Friday was announced minutes before the trade deadline, sending Hertl from the San Jose Sharks to the Golden Knights. Hertl has six years remaining on a $8.1375 million AAV, which the Sharks will retain 17 percent of for the remainder of the contract. Hertl is currently sidelined with a lower-body injury after undergoing a procedure in his left knee at the beginning of February but is expected to return before the end of the season. The talented Czech forward has 34 points (15G / 19A) while averaging 20:54 time-on-ice through 48 games this season.
The Golden Knights will turn to Hill for the fourth time in the last five games. Hill has struggled lately, losing six of his last seven games and allowing three or more goals six times.
