Golden Knights’ Adin Hill Returns from IR to Face Leafs
The Vegas Golden Knights are set for a significant boost with the return of goaltender Adin Hill. He has been activated from injured reserve (IR) and will take the ice against the Toronto Maple Leafs this evening.
Adin Hill’s Return
Adin Hill, who has been sidelined since October 20 due to a lower-body injury, is back in action. He sustained the injury during a match against the Carolina Hurricanes, requiring assistance to leave the ice. Hill’s previous performances this season have been noteworthy, boasting a record of 1-0-2 and an .888 save percentage (SV%).
