Golden Knights Goalie Adin Hill Suffers Leg Injury in Crucial Game
21 Oct
Summary
- Golden Knights starting goaltender Adin Hill leaves game with leg injury
- Hill replaced by Akira Schmid, who is 3-0 this season
- Hill missed previous game after leaving early in October
On October 21, 2025, the Las Vegas Golden Knights faced off against the Carolina Hurricanes, with starting goaltender Adin Hill in net. However, midway through the first period, Hill went down with an apparent leg injury after making a save, and had to be helped off the ice by teammates.
After a brief evaluation on the ice, Hill struggled to put weight on his left leg as he made his way to the locker room tunnel. This marks the second time this month that Hill has left a game early due to injury, as he also exited the team's October 14th matchup against the Calgary Flames.
Backup goaltender Akira Schmid stepped in to replace Hill, who had picked up his first win of the season just a few days prior on October 18th. Schmid, who is 3-0 this season with a 3.00 goals-against average and .879 save percentage, will now be tasked with maintaining the Golden Knights' 1-0 lead over the Hurricanes.
The extent of Hill's injury and his timeline for return remain unclear, but the Golden Knights will need Schmid to continue his strong play in order to keep their early-season momentum going.
