The Golden Knights will turn to Hill between the pipes for a fourth straight game on Monday when they host the Carolina Hurricanes. The 28-year-old Hill has had an up-and-down season, posting a 3.13 GAA and .881 SV% in nine games (6-2-1). The Golden Knights enter the action on Monday as +127 road underdogs against a Hurricanes club that had an eight-game winning streak snapped on Saturday in a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.
Hill will make his third straight start and be in search of a fifth consecutive victory when the Golden Knights travel to Seattle on Friday. Hill enjoyed one of his better performances of the young season his last time out, allowing just two goals on 29 shots as the Golden Knights picked up a 4-2 victory over the Oilers. He boasts a 6-2-0 record on the year despite managing just an .882 SV%. He's got a great chance of staying in the win column on Friday with Vegas entering action as -150 road favourites.
Rondbjerg enters the lineup in place of Mark Stone, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Rondbjerg played 20 games with the Golden Knights last season, registering one goal and two assists.
Stone was a late scratch for Friday night's game in Seattle, with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Jonas Rondbjerg will draw into the lineup in his place.
Sissons left Wednesday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. He was a late scratch on Thursday after exiting warmups early and is considered day-to-day.
Hutton will draw into the lineup in place of Nicolas Hague (undisclosed). Hutton finished the 2023-24 season with two goals and eight assists in 41 games with the Golden Knights.
Hill will make his eighth start of the season and will be in search of a fourth consecutive victory when the Golden Knights travel to Edmonton on Wednesday. Hill allowed three goals on just 19 shots against but managed an overtime victory over Utah on Saturday. He owns a 5-2-0 record on the season despite an .874 SV% and a 3.15 GAA. He'll have his hands full on Wednesday with Vegas being +130 underdogs in Edmonton.
Stone was not at practice on Friday due to the birth of his child and his status for Saturday's game against Utah HC is currently uncertain. The 32-year-old Stone is off to a monstrous start to the 2024-25 campaign, tied for the lead in NHL scoring with 19 points (5G / 14A) in 11 games.
The Golden Knights have not received adequate goaltending this season, allowing 3.1 goals per game, but their league-leading 4.9 goals per game have made up for any defensive deficiencies. Hill will start for the sixth time this season and look to improve on an unspectacular 3.85 GAA and .864 SV% through five games (3-2-0). The Golden Knights, riding a three-game winning streak, enter the action on Monday as -164 home favorites against the Calgary Flames.
Reinhardt has played the last two games for Ottawa, tallying one assist, his first career NHL point. The 24-year-old was a sixth-round pick of the Senators in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.
Fresh off of signing a seven-year, $51.975 million contract extension ($7,425,000 AAV), Theodore will draw back into the Golden Knights' lineup after missing one game due to illness. The 29-year-old Theodore is off to a blistering start to the 2024-25 season, with seven points (1G / 6A), three on the powerplay, in six games.
After serving as the backup to Ilya Samsonov for the last two games, the Golden Knights will return to Adin Hill between the pipes on Friday against the Ottawa Senators. Despite a serviceable 2-2-0 record to start the season, the 28-year-old Hill has struggled, allowing three or more goals in all four of his contests, posting an ugly 3.81 GAA and .851 SV%. That said, the Golden Knights enter action on Friday as -125 home favorites against the Senators.
Shane Pinto will not play on Friday against the Vegas Golden Knights, allowing Reinhardt to draw into the lineup for his season debut. The 24-year-old Reinhardt has five points (2G / 3A) in three games this season with the Belleville Senators (AHL).
Reinhardt was recalled last weekend as well but served as a healthy scratch for Ottawa. The 24-year-old Reinhardt has five points (2G / 3A) in three games this season with the Belleville Senators (AHL).
