Hill was serviceable, if unspectacular, in the Golden Knights' season opener, allowing four goals on 32 shots (.875 SV%) in an 8-4 win over the Colorado Avalanche, enough to secure another start in their second game of the season. The 28-year-old Hill had a solid 2023-24 season but was sidelined for a large portion due to injuries, posting a 2.71 GAA and .909 SV% in only 35 games (19-12-2). The Golden Knights enter Friday night's contest as sizeable -214 home favorites against the St. Louis Blues.

Lavoie has had a whirlwind start to his 2024-25 campaign. Lavoie was signed to a one-year, two-way contract extension by the Edmonton Oilers in the offseason, placed on waivers last week, claimed by the Vegas Golden Knights, re-claimed by the Oilers, and ultimately claimed again by the Golden Knights. The 24-year-old was Edmonton's 2019 2nd-round pick (38th overall) and has appeared in seven games with the Oilers since making his debut last season. In 66 games with Bakersfield (AHL) in 2023-24, he had 28 goals, 50 points and 64 PIMs in 66 games played.

Hill will start the 2024-25 campaign as the starting netminder for the Golden Knights in their season opener against the Colorado Avalanche. The 28-year-old Hill had a solid 2023-24 season but was sidelined for a large portion due to injuries, posting a 2.71 GAA and .909 SV% in only 35 games (19-12-2). Hill is in his third season with the Golden Knights and will share the crease with newcomer Ilya Samsonov. The Golden Knights enter Wednesday's contest at home with even -105 odds against the Avalanche.

After missing the Golden Knights' preseason finale, Karlsson was originally expected to be ready for their season opener. The 31-year-old Karlsson had 30 goals and 60 points in 70 games played in 2023-24.

Saad is expected to miss the Blues' first road trip of the season as he awaits the birth of his third child and has been placed on the Injured/Non-Roster list to begin 2024-25. The Blues will hope to have their veteran 31-year-old left-winger back soon after he finished 2023-24 fourth in team goals (26) and fifth in points (42).

Vegas made another waiver claim on Monday as they scooped up right-winger Raphael Lavoie from Edmonton. The 24-year-old was Edmonton's 2019 2nd-round pick (38th overall) and has appeared in seven games with the Oilers since making his debut last season. In 66 games with Bakersfield (AHL) in 2023-24, he had 28 goals, 50 points and 64 PIMs in 66 games played.

Karlsson skated on his own on Friday but will miss Vegas' preseason finale which leaves his status for the Golden Knights' opener as questionable. Vegas does not start their season until Wednesday, so head coach Bruce Cassidy hopes Karlsson will be able to return to practice in time to play. The 31-year-old had 30 goals and 60 points in 70 games played in 2023-24.

Karlsson has been hampered by an undisclosed injury during training camp but head coach Bruce Cassidy said that they are hopeful that he'll return to practice later this week. As of now, the Golden Knights are expecting him to be in the lineup when they start their season on October 9th.

Saad and his wife are expecting their third child right around the time of the Blues' first road trip of the season. In Monday's practice, he skated on the "fifth line," an indication that the Blues are preparing to be without the veteran winger when their season starts on October 8th. While Saad is out, Zack Bolduc is expected to skate in the top-6, and his strong preseason could make Saad more of a bottom-6 option this season.

Coghlan spent most of the 2023-24 season in the AHL, where he was tied for the league-lead among defensemen with 16 goals and his 41 points was tied for 11th and has signed a one-year, two-way contract with Winnipeg. Coghlan provides the Jets with additional blueline depth and comes to them with 106 career NHL games between the Golden Knights and Hurricanes. Coghlan figures to be in a competitive battle with Logan Stanley, Ville Heinola and Colin Miller for playing time on the Jets' third pair in 2024-25.

Lavoie was selected in the second-round of the 2019 NHL Draft and appeared in his first seven career NHL games during the 2023-24 season. The 23-year-old forward failed to pick up a point with the Oilers but he led Bakersfield (AHL) in goals (28) and was third in points (50) in 66 games. Given the depth the Oilers have added this offseason, Lavoie will likely start the 2024-25 season in the AHL.

He went on to play 44 games with Chicago, tallying two assists, 60 hits and 87 blocked shots while logging 17:31 ATOI. With Florida, look for him to start the 2024-25 season in the AHL.
