After alternating between Hill and Logan Thompson in their first two games, the Golden Knights will turn to Hill for his second consecutive start. Hill has picked up where he left off in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, recording a stellar 1.01 GAA and .964 SV% in two starts this season (2-0-0). The defending Stanley Cup Champion Golden Knights have been remarkable as a whole, outscoring opponents 12-3 en route to a 3-0-0 start to the season. Tonight, however, they are slight +104 road underdogs in a rematch against the team they defeated in the Western Conference Finals, the Dallas Stars. The Stars are expected to welcome star center Roope Hintz into the lineup for his season debut.

Hill was awarded a two-year, $9.8 million contract extension by Vegas in the offseason and will take the crease in their opening matchup of the 2023-24 campaign. The 27-year-old was 16-7-1 with a .915 SV% and a 2.50 GAA in 27 games played in 2022-23 before leading the Golden Knights to a Stanley Cup. He draws the tough task of the Seattle Kraken who were fourth in the NHL in GF in 2022-23 (289) and 20th in SOG/GP (30.5).

Hill led Vegas to it's first ever Stanley Cup with an impressive 11-4-0 record in the playoffs to go along with a 2.17 GAA and .932 SV% and has earned himself a two-year, $8.8 Million ($4.9 million AAV) contract extension. The 27-year-old netminder enjoyed a strong but brief regular season in 2022-23 with the Golden Knights, posting a 16-7-1 record, 2.50 GAA and .915 SV% in his first season with Vegas.

Hill surrendered three goals on 23 shots in the Golden Knights overtime loss in Florida in Game 3. In the series, he has stopped 82 of the 89 shots (.921 SV%) that he's faced. Overall, he's gone 9-4-0 with a 2.12 GAA, .934 SV% and two shutouts in 14 games this postseason.

Hill stopped 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) for his third-straight victory as Vegas took a stranglehold on their Stanley Cup Final lead with a 7-2 victory in Game 2 over the Golden Knights his last time between the pipes. The 27-year-old has been sensational since being called upon in the second round of the playoffs, posting a 9-3-0 record, 2.06 GAA and .937 SV%. He will hope to take a commanding 3-0 series lead after Game 3 vs. Florida on Thursday, who led the regular season in shots per game (36.8).
