Golden Knights' Goalie Adin Hill Injured Against Hurricanes

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill sustained a lower-body injury during the first period of Monday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes, forcing him to leave the ice with assistance from teammates and the team trainer. Hill, who had previously missed games earlier this season due to injury, was replaced by backup Akira Schmid, who holds a 3-0 record and solid stats this season. If Hill is unable to play in the upcoming three-game road trip starting Saturday against the Florida Panthers, Carl Lindbom from the AHL affiliate is expected to be called up as Carter Hart remains ineligible to play until December 1. The Golden Knights are also coping with other injuries, including captain Mark Stone and forwards Brett Howden and Noah Hanifin, complicating their roster situation. Hill, a key player who won the 2023 Stanley Cup with the team, has been a candidate for Team Canada in international competitions, underscoring the impact of his absence. The team awaits further updates on Hill's condition as they prepare for their next games.
