Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Draws Opening Night start

Hill was the first goalie off Wednesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll be in the home crease for the Golden Knights' Opening Night matchup against the Avalanche.

Hill had a shaky end to the preseason by allowing six goals on 29 shots against San Jose, but he allowed two goals on 16 shots against Utah during his other start. However, the 28-year-old still enters the 2024-25 campaign as the Golden Knights' No. 1 goalie, while Ilya Samsonov will be available as a backup. Over 35 appearances last year, Hill posted a 19-12-2 record, 2.71 GAA and .909 save percentage.
