Golden Knights Place Captain Stone, Goaltender Hill Week-to-Week With Injuries

The Vegas Golden Knights are facing significant challenges ahead of their upcoming road trip, as key players go week-to-week with injuries. Goaltender Adin Hill is out with a lower-body injury sustained during a recent game, and will not travel with the team; backup goaltenders Akira Schmid and Carl Lindbom are expected to fill in. Additionally, team captain Mark Stone has been placed on injured reserve with a wrist injury, sidelining him for an undetermined period and prompting lineup adjustments including Brandon Saad moving to the top line. Despite these setbacks, the Golden Knights remain strong at the top of the Pacific Division with an undefeated record in regulation. Coach Bruce Cassidy expressed optimism about Stone's recovery, noting his history of bouncing back from injuries. The team will rely on depth and adjustments to maintain their competitiveness as they prepare to face tough opponents like the Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes.
