Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Yields three goals in loss
Rotowire
Hill gave up three goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Hill was unable to secure the win, and the Golden Knights dropped to the second wild-card spot as a result, which means a date with Dallas in the first round of the playoffs. The 27-year-old allowed 11 goals on 71 shots over three appearances following a lower-body injury to close out the season. Based on his performance in those contests, Hill could open the playoffs as Logan Thompson's understudy. Hill went 19-12-2 with a 2.71 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 34 appearances this season, but he was 9-10-0 over 20 contests from January through April.

Rotowire
Hill stopped 21 of 24 Avalanche shots during Sunday's 4-3 overtime win.
Hill got a win after Vegas rallied late in the game, but his .875 save percentage is indicative of his rocky recent play. In two of the previous three games, he posted an .800 save percentage, and he has sub-.900 marks in 11 of his last 15 starts. Hill raised his game last postseason to help the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup, but he hasn't been playing at that level with the 2024 playoffs around the corner.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Struggles versus Lightning
