Hill comes to the rescue as Knights snap three-game skid
With Carter Hart bhurt, Adiun Hill stepped in and stopped 24 of 25 shots as Vegas defeated Ottawa 4-1.
The Vegas Golden Knights ended a three-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Goaltender Carter Hart suffered an undisclosed leg injury and was unable to play, forcing center Adin Hill to step in and deliver an outstanding performance. Hart stopped 24 of 25 shots, including a crucial save in the second period when he stopped Tim Stutzle from breaking the 1-1 tie.
Hill, who was recalled from their AHL affiliate in Henderson, contributed to the win with 8 goals attempts and a pair of impressive saves. The Senators' Raphael Lavoie notched his first NHL goal in the third period, breaking the deadlock and sealing the victory with a William Karlsson empty net goal with just over a minute remaining.
Coach Ryan Craig praised Hill's performance and noted that the team's improved puck management played a significant role in the win.
