Hill surrendered two goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Stars in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

A turnover led to the Stars' first goal, and they scored again early in the third period on the first shift of the frame. Hill went 1-2 with five goals allowed on 72 shots over the final three contests of the series after losing the starting job to Logan Thompson at the beginning of the playoffs. Hill is under contract for next year and should continue to split the goaltending duties with Thompson, barring any trades that change the composition of the Golden Knights' crease.

Hill was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, indicating he will defend the road net Sunday in Game 7 against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Hill blanked the Stars with 23 saves in a 2-0 win in Friday's Game 6. He will make his third straight start after Logan Thompson played in the first four games of Vegas' first-round series. The 27-year-old Hill has stopped 45 of 48 shots en route to a 1-1 record this postseason.

Hill posted a 23-save shutout in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Hill stepped up in a must-win scenario to force Game 7 on Sunday. He was strong throughout the game, which was a goalie duel between him and Jake Oettinger until Noah Hanifin put the Golden Knights ahead midway through the third period. Hill was on the bench for the first four games of the season, but it's tough to imagine head coach Bruce Cassidy turning away from the 27-year-old after this shutout.

Hill is set to start at home against Dallas in Game 6 on Friday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Hill will get a second straight start after saving 22 of 25 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 on Wednesday. He had a 19-12-2 record, 2.71 GAA and .909 save percentage in 35 regular-season outings. Vegas needs to earn a win against Dallas, which has scored 2.80 goals per contest in the playoffs this year, to avoid elimination.

Hill made 22 saves Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 of the Golden Knights' first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

Two of Dallas' goals came on power plays, including Jason Robertson's game-winner in the second period, and Hill had little chance on the other in his first action so far this postseason. After taking a 2-0 lead in the series, Vegas has lost three straight games and will face elimination on home ice Friday. It's not clear whether Hill will be back between the pipes for Game 6 with the season on the line, or if coach Bruce Cassidy will turn back to Logan Thompson.

Hill was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday and is expected to get the starting nod on the road against the Stars in Game 5 on Wednesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill will step into the crease for the first time in the postseason after Logan Thompson gave up six goals on 77 shots (.922 save percentage) in a pair of defeats to Dallas. The 27-year-old Hill has played in only three of the Knights' last 16 contests in which he registered a 1-2-0 record and 3.68 GAA. If Hill can earn the crucial Game 5 victory, he should remain in the crease for Game 6 on Friday as well.

Hill gave up three goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Hill was unable to secure the win, and the Golden Knights dropped to the second wild-card spot, which means a date with Dallas in the first round. The 27-year-old allowed 11 goals on 71 shots over three appearances following a lower-body injury. Based on his performance in those contests, Hill seems likely to open the playoffs as Logan Thompson's understudy. Hill went 19-12-2 with a 2.71 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 34 appearances this season, but he was 9-10-0 over 20 contests from January through April.

Hill will guard the home goal versus the Ducks on Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill has allowed eight goals on 49 shots over his last two outings since returning from a lower-body injury. Logan Thompson has been sharper lately, but the Golden Knights are often at their best when both goalies are performing well. Hill will get Thursday's game to use as preparation for the playoffs.

Hill stopped 21 of 24 Avalanche shots during Sunday's 4-3 overtime win.

EDGE Analysis

Hill got a win after Vegas rallied late in the game, but his .875 save percentage is indicative of recent play. In two of the previous three games, he posted an .800 save percentage and has been at .897 or worse in 11 of his last 15 starts. He's not playing at the same level he did during last spring's postseason run.

Hill will patrol the home crease Sunday against Colorado, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

EDGE Analysis

Hill is coming off a 20-save effort in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Edmonton. He has posted a record of 18-11-2 this season with a 2.69 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 33 appearances. The Avalanche sit first in the league this campaign with 3.68 goals per contest.
