Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill week-to-week, won’t travel with team

Adin Hill is week-to-week and won’t travel with the team on its upcoming three-game road trip, head coach Bruce Cassidy told Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Hill was injured in Monday’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes after he went down with an apparent leg injury midway through the first period.

Hill was replaced by Akira Schmid, who is 3-0 with a 3.00 goals-against average and .879 save percentage.

After making a save, Hill went down to the ice and stayed there for several minutes.

He had a brief discussion on the ice with team trainer Kyle Moore, and then teammates Zach Whitecloud and William Karlsson helped Hill to the bench. Hill maneuvered his way to the tunnel but struggled to put weight on his left leg.

Hill left the Golden Knights†game in Calgary on Oct. 14 after the first period and missed the teamâ€s next game against Boston.

He picked up his first win of the season Saturday, when he stopped 26 shots during a 6-1 win over Calgary.

The Golden Knights called up goaltender Carl Lindbom from the AHL to be Schmid’s backup on the road trip.

The three-game trip begins against the Florida Panthers on Saturday, then the team will visit the Tampa Bay Lightning and Carolina Hurricanes before returning home.

Carter Hart, signed to a PTO by the Golden Knights last week, if signed to a contract is eligible to play as of Dec. 1.
