    • Shuts out Stars in Game 6
      Hill posted a 23-save shutout in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

      Advice: 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.

    • Comes up short in Game 6
      Saros stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Canucks in Game 6.

      Advice: Saros was excellent, going save for save with Arturs Silovs for nearly the whole game. Pius Suter had the breakthrough for the Canucks with 1:39 left in the third period, and that goal was the one to end the Predators' season. Despite a 2-4 record in the playoffs, Saros allowed just 12 goals on 120 shots over six contests, with Friday marking the first time he'd faced more than 21 shots in a game all series. The Finnish goalie is under contract for one more season at a $5 million cap hit, so it's possible his name could swirl in trade rumors if the Predators opt to shake things up.

    • Tending twine Friday
      Saros will face the Canucks at home for Game 6 on Friday.

      Advice: Saros turned away 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 Game 5 win to force Game 6. Through five games this series, he's allowed only 11 goals but it's come with a lackluster .879 save percentage. To avoid elimination, Saros will need to earn consecutive wins for the first time since April 4 and 7. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:36 pm
       
    • Expected to start Friday
      Hill is set to start at home against Dallas in Game 6 on Friday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

      Advice: Hill will get a second straight start after saving 22 of 25 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 on Wednesday. He had a 19-12-2 record, 2.71 GAA and .909 save percentage in 35 regular-season outings. Vegas needs to earn a win against Dallas, which has scored 2.80 goals per contest in the playoffs this year, to avoid elimination. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:39 am
       
    • Falls to Edmonton
      Rittich allowed four goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 loss to the Oilers.

      Advice: Rittich and the Kings couldn't overcome Edmonton's three-goal second period in the series-deciding loss. The 31-year-old Rittich started the series' final two games, going 0-2-0 with an .872 save percentage after Cam Talbot struggled in the first three games. Rittich was solid in the regular season, going 13-6-3 with a .921 save percentage. Rittich could be looking for an opportunity to win a starting gig as a free agent this summer.

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

      Advice: 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. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:48 am
       
    • Set to start Wednesday
      Rittich is slated to start on the road against Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

      Advice: Rittich is getting his second straight start after saving 12 of 13 shots in a 1-0 loss to Edmonton in Game 4 on Sunday. Edmonton has a potent offense, which ranked fourth in the 2023-24 campaign with 3.56 goals per game, so the Oilers will probably fire considerably more shots in the upcoming tilt. Rittich had a 13-6-3 record, 2.15 GAA and .921 save percentage in 24 regular-season contests. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:32 am
       
    • Exits ice first Wednesday
      Hill was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday and is expected to get the starting nod on the road against the Stars in Game 5 on Wednesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

      Advice: Hill will step into the crease for the first time in the postseason after Logan Thompson gave up six goals on 77 shots (.922 save percentage) in a pair of defeats to Dallas in Games 3 and 4. The 27-year-old Hill has played in only three of the Knights' last 16 contests, registering a 1-2-0 record and 3.68 GAA. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:09 am
       
    • Keeps season alive
      Saros stopped 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

      Advice: It was another low-event game, and Saros did his part this time to keep the Predators' season alive. He gave up just one goal to Nikita Zadorov in the third period. Saros has allowed 11 goals on 91 shots through five playoff outings -- those aren't great numbers, but he's done enough to keep most of the games close so far. The 29-year-old is almost guaranteed to get the nod again in Friday's Game 6. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:07 pm
