Golden Knights Goalie Adin Hill Leaves Game Against Hurricanes
In a recent match against the Carolina Hurricanes, Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill exited the game with a potential leg injury. This incident occurred during the first period, with the Golden Knights leading 1-0.
Adin Hill’s Injury Details
Hill sustained the injury after he made a save, leading him to drop to the ice for several minutes. Team trainer Kyle Moore and teammates Zach Whitecloud and William Karlsson assisted him off the ice. Hill displayed difficulty in putting weight on his left leg as he navigated toward the tunnel.
Previous Injury Concerns
This recent exit follows another incident where Hill left a game against Calgary on October 14 after the first period due to an earlier injury. He also sat out the following match against Boston. However, he did secure his first win of the season with a strong performance, stopping 26 shots in a 6-1 victory over Calgary.
Team Performance and Upcoming Challenges
- Hill was replaced in the game by Akira Schmid.
- Schmid holds an impressive record of 3-0, with a 3.00 goals-against average and a .879 save percentage.
The Golden Knights are set to embark on a three-game road trip, beginning in Florida on Saturday. Should Hill be unable to participate, it’s likely that Carl Lindbom will be called up from the AHL affiliate, the Silver Knights.
The situation is compounded by additional team injuries, including captain Mark Stone, who was placed on injured reserve just before the game, along with the absence of forward Brett Howden and defenseman Noah Hanifin.
