Roy left in the third period of Tuesday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers and will miss Friday's game vs. Chicago after originally being a game-time decision. Roy has four points (3G / 1A) in seven games this season, averaging 15:04 time-on-ice per game.

Adin Hill will start Friday vs. Chicago.

Hill continued his early season run of dominance as he stopped 21 of 24 shots (.875 SV%) for his fourth-straight win in his previous start vs. Chicago and will take the Blackhawks on again Friday. The 27-year-old signed a fresh two-year, $9.8 million contract in the offseason after leading Vegas to its first-ever Stanley Cup and has not disappointed this season as he is 4-0-0 with a .934 SV% and a 1.73 GAA. He takes on the struggling Chicago Blackhawks, who have lost five of their last six games and are 30th in the NHL in goals for (2.0).

Ilya Samsonov will start Saturday vs. Nashville.

Samsonov will take the crease Saturday against Nashville after being pulled a week earlier vs. Tampa Bay after allowing three goals on four shots (.250 SV%) in his previous start. The 26-year-old is fighting for the starting position in the Maple Leafs' crease with Joseph Woll due to his slow start which has him with a 2-1-0 record, .831 SV% and a 4.34 GAA. He'll face the Nashville Predators on the road, who snapped a two-game winning streak with a loss to Vancouver last game and are 18th in the NHL in goals per game (2.86).

Nicolas Roy (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Friday vs. Chicago.

Roy left in the third period of Tuesday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers and will be a game-time decision for the Golden Knights' next game on Friday. Roy has four points (3G / 1A) in seven games this season, averaging 15:04 time-on-ice per game.

Nicolas Roy
Schmid will start Wednesday's game against the Capitals.

Schmid will return to the Devils' crease for his third start of the season after Vitek Vanecek got the nod in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Canadiens. Fantasy managers will be hoping for a strong performance from Schmid tonight after enduring a relatively slow start to the season. The 23-year-old netminder has stopped just 58 of the 65 shots he's faced this season, and has a 3.30 GAA to go along with a 1-0-1 record to show for it. New Jersey should provide plenty of goal support all season long, so there is still a lot of potential fantasy value to be had in Schmid if he can reclaim his form from the end of last season and challenge Vanecek for more starts.

Akira Schmid
Adin Hill will start Saturday vs. Chicago.

Hill stopped 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) for his third-straight win in his last start vs. Dallas and will be between the pipes Saturday as Vegas takes on Chicago. The 27-year-old has been sensational to start the 2023-24 season, with his 3-0-0- record, 1.31 GAA and .951 SV%. He takes on the Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks, who have lost three of their last four contests and are 27th in the NHL in goals per game (2.2).
