Adin Hill Placed on Injured Reserve with Lower Body Injury

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill has been placed on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. Hill's health has been a recurring concern, as he has faced injuries for three consecutive seasons, including missing nearly two months mid-season last year. Despite these setbacks, he demonstrated elite potential, dominating the 2022-23 postseason with an 11-4 record, 2.17 GAA, and .932 save percentage in 16 games, leading the Golden Knights to a Stanley Cup. He also started the 2023-24 season with a 14-2-2 run, leading the NHL in early stats. In 2022-23, he posted a 16-7-1 record with a 2.49 GAA and .914 save percentage in 27 regular-season games. Standing at 6-foot-6, 202 pounds, Hill's focus this past summer was on building health to prevent further injuries. He is currently considered to have a slight edge over Logan Thompson for the starting role, though a timeshare is anticipated.
