Hill was the first goalie off of the ice at the Golden Knights morning skate.

Hill will get his second start of 2022-23 Thursday after stopping 31 of 33 shots in his Vegas debut in a 5-2 win over the Seattle Kraken last week. The netminder has backed up Logan Thompson for two of Vegas' three victories on the season and will be hoping to keep his .952 SV% in check when the Golden Knights host the Jets on Thursday. The Jets play their second game in as many nights after beating the Avalanche 4-3 in overtime last night.

Hill will start in Seattle on Saturday.

Adin Hill will get his first start as a member of the Vegas Golden Knights Saturday. The 26-year-old has enjoyed a decent career so far across five NHL seasons, winning 29 games while posting a career .908 SV% across 63 starts with San Jose and Arizona. He will look to start his Vegas career off on the right foot as they take on Seattle Saturday.

Hagg (head) could be ready for the Red Wings' season opener.

Hagg re-joined the Red Wings on Friday for the first time since taking a puck to the head in a scrimmage in late September. Hagg, who signed a one-year deal with the Red Wings in the summer, is expected to open the season as their No.6 defenseman next to Gustav Lindstrom. The 27-year-old had nine points (1G / 8A) in 64 NHL games with the Sabres and Panthers in 2021-22.

Patrick will not play during the 2022-23 season.

Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon announced Thursday that Patrick would miss the entire season due to an upper-body injury. Patrick, who was the No.2 overall pick in 2017, has struggled with migraine issues in his career. The 24-year-old had just seven points (2G / 5A) in 25 games last season.

The Golden Knights have signed Spencer Foo to a one-year contract.

Foo was highly sought after when he turned pro in 2018 after a 62-point season at Union College. He signed with the Flames but only appeared in four NHL games and ultimately left for Kunlun Red Star (KHL) in 2020. He spent the last three years playing for the Chinese team, leading them with 33 points (14G / 19A) in 48 games last season.

The Golden Knights have signed Sakari Manninen to a one-year contract.

Manninen will be coming to North America for the first time in his lengthy career. The 30-year-old forward led Ufa Salavat Yulayev (KHL) in goals (19) and was second in points (32) in 38 games a season ago. He was also tied for the tournament lead with seven points in six games at the Olympics, winning gold with Finland.

The Golden Knights have re-signed Jonas Rondbjerg to a three-year contract.

Rondbjerg nearly split his time evenly between the NHL and AHL in 2022. With the Golden Knights he played almost exclusively on the fourth line, posting six points (2G / 4A) in 30 games while averaging just 10:01 TOI/gm. Entering 2022-23, Rondbjerg will likely be vying for one of the final roster spots on the Golden Knights' opening night roster.

The Golden Knights have re-signed Brett Howden to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

Howden was originally not qualified by the Golden Knights but ended up signing a one-year deal to stay with the team. Howden, who was a first-round pick in 2016, has never lived up to the offensive potential he flashed in the WHL. He's played almost exclusively as a fourth-line centre and will likely continue to do so in 2022-23.

The Golden Knights have re-signed Reilly Smith to a three-year, $15 million contract.

Smith has been with the Golden Knights since the beginning but his production has being to slip recently. He posted a career-high 60 points in 2018 and career-best 27 goals in 2020, however he has just 30 goals and 33 assists (63 points) in his last 109 games combined over the last two seasons. He'll still be a top-6 player for the Golden Knights in 2022-23 and has some bounce-back potential if his on-ice SH% comes back up to double-digits.
