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

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Shuts out Stars in Game 6
Rotowire
Hill posted a 23-save shutout in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.
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 series, but it's tough to imagine head coach Bruce Cassidy turning away from the 27-year-old after this shutout.

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

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Yields three goals in loss
Rotowire
Hill gave up three goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Hill was unable to secure the win, and the Golden Knights dropped to the second wild-card spot as a result, which means a date with Dallas in the first round of the playoffs. The 27-year-old allowed 11 goals on 71 shots over three appearances following a lower-body injury to close out the season. Based on his performance in those contests, Hill could 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.

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

Hill raised his game last postseason to help the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup, but he hasn't been playing at that level with the 2024 playoffs around the corner.
