LAS VEGAS (AP) — Golden Knights starting goaltender Adin Hill left Monday’s game against Carolina with an apparent leg injury midway through the first period with the Knights up 1-0.
After making a save, Hill went down to the ice and stayed there for several minutes.
After a brief discussion on the ice with team trainer Kyle Moore, 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 was replaced by Akira Schmid, who is 3-0 with a 3.00 goals-against average and .879 save percentage.
The Golden Knights open a three-game road trip at Florida on Saturday. If Hill cannot travel, the team would likely call up Carl Lindbom from its AHL club, the Silver Knights.
The Golden Knights were already dealing with other injuries, after placing captain Mark Stone on injured reserve just before the game, and missing forward Brett Howden and defenseman Noah Hanifin.
