Hill has established himself as the Golden Knights' clear number-one netminder ahead of Logan Thompson, as Vegas will turn to him for the fourth time in their last five games. Hill was fantastic in Toronto on Tuesday, allowing just two goals on 30 shots, guiding the Golden Knights to a 6-2 victory over the Maple Leafs. He owns a 15-5-2 record on the season along with a league-leading .927 SV%. He will have his hands full again on Thursday with the Golden Knights being +130 underdogs in Boston.

Despite Joseph Woll returning to practice this week, the Maple Leafs will continue to go with their duo of Martin Jones and Ilya Samsonov for at least one more game on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Samsonov will start his second-straight game and look to extend Toronto's current seven-game winning streak. He'll face the Vegas Golden Knights in Toronto on Tuesday, who are going in the opposite direction with loses in three straight and five of their last six games.

Eichel has been out for six weeks since leaving the Golden Knights' game on January 11th with a knee injury and appears to be on cue to return from surgery at the late end of his four-to-six-week prognosis. He currently has 19 goals, 25 assists, 173 SOG, 10 PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 42 games before his injury and will be a welcomed addition to a Golden Knights team that just lost Mark Stone indefinitely to an upper-body injury.

Hill will look for redemption as the Golden Knights starting goalie on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, who chased him from the crease in the opening period last week. On Thursday, the Maple Leafs peppered Hill and the Golden Knights with 20 shots in the first period, scoring three and forcing Hill to exit the crease. Hill has allowed three or more goals in four straight (0-4-0) after an incredible start to the season.

Howden most recently played on a line with William Karlsson and Grigori Denisenko but did not play on Thursday and has been placed on IR. The 25-year-old Howden has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 54 games this season.

Demek was the 128th overall pick of the Golden Knights in the 2021 NHL Entry Entry Draft. The 20-year-old Slovak-born forward is playing his first professional season and has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 44 games with the Henderson Silver Knights of the AHL.

Adin Hill will tend the twine on Thursday night as he attempts to snap a season-worst three-game losing skid. Uncharacteristically, Hill has allowed three or more goals in four straight games, the first time this season, showcasing an ugly .884 SV%. The Golden Knights will face off against a Maple Leafs club that played last night, a 6-3 win over the Arizona Coyotes, and is riding a five-game winning streak.

Howden most recently played on a line with William Karlsson and Grigori Denisenko but will not play on Thursday due to an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old Howden has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 54 games this season and is considered day-to-day with his latest ailment.

Denisenko has been held without a point in four games with the Golden Knights this season but his strong play in the AHL earned him a call-up earlier this week. In 45 games with the Silver Knights (AHL), Denisenko has 40 points (14G / 26A).

Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon said Stone will be "out for a while" due to the upper-body injury. Stone suffered the injury in Tuesday's game against the Predators and was unable to return. Stone was in the midst of another productive season for the Golden Knights, scoring 16 goals and adding 37 assists across 56 games. The Golden Knights have recalled Sheldon Rempal in his absence.

Samsonov will start for the second straight game and attempt to extend his winning streak to five games on Wednesday night. Samsonov was solid in his last outing, saving 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. The Maple Leafs have done a stellar job of protecting their netminder lately, as Samsonov has managed to record two of his last three victories while saving fewer than 20 shots.

Schmid has backed up Nico Daws the last two weeks since Vitek Vanecek suffered a lower-body injury but never saw any game action. Isaac Poulter has been recalled from Utica (AHL), likely to allow Schmid to play some games.

Logan Thompson tended the crease in Monday's 4-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks and the Golden Knights will turn to Hill in the back end of their back-to-back on Tuesday night. Hill is riding a two-game losing streak, a first-time occurrence for the talented netminder this season. The Golden Knights enter Tuesday's contest as -135 home favourites against a Nashville Predators club coming off a 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues.
