Vegas Golden Knights
Goalie Adin Hill (lower body) could return for the Golden Knights against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Las Vegas on Thursday (9:30 p.m. ET; ESPN, TSN4), with Akira Schmid likely to start the first of a back to back at the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday (10 p.m. ET; HBO MAX, truTV, TNT, SN (JIP), SN360, TVAS). Hill has not played since Oct. 20 but was on the ice Tuesday and traveled to Los Angeles. “Possible Thursday,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said. “Let’s see how he gets through today, tomorrow. If he wakes up tomorrow and there’s no ill effects, that will be a good sign for us.” Hill is 1-0-2 with a 2.73 goals-against average and .888 save percentage in five games this season. … Forward William Karlsson (lower body), who has not played since Nov. 8, experienced a setback in his recovery. “We’ll still leave him as week to week, but no progress that we were hoping for,” Cassidy said. “… We’ll see how that plays out.”
