Golden Knights Goalie Adin Hill Injured Early vs Flames

Adin Hill, the Vegas Golden Knights' goaltender, suffered a lower-body injury early during the team's 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, leading him to leave the ice and miss subsequent game time. He was guarding the net in a Tuesday game against the Calgary Flames but exited after taking a shot off his mask, an injury that caused concern given the team's limited goaltender depth. Backup goalie Akira Schmid replaced Hill following his departure and likely would start if Hill misses additional time, with Carl Lindbom potentially called up for depth. Hill's recent performance includes a 0-0-2 record, allowing nine goals on 58 shots, with both losses coming in overtime or shootouts, and he was set to start again against Calgary despite the injury. The injury appears to have affected his availability, but Hill did continue to play briefly after the incident before leaving the game. The Golden Knights have been managing goaltender challenges as Hill's health remains uncertain.
