    • 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 season, but it's tough to imagine head coach Bruce Cassidy turning away from the 27-year-old after this shutout.

    • 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
       
    • Forces Game 7
      Woll stopped 22 of 23 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

      Advice: Woll has won back-to-back starts, stopping 49 of 51 shots in that span. The 25-year-old nearly had his first postseason shutout Thursday, but a Morgan Geekie goal in the final second spoiled it. Woll is almost certain to start Saturday's Game 7 in Boston after pulling the Maple Leafs back from the brink following Ilya Samsonov's poor start to the series.

    • Slated to start Game 6
      Woll was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS,ca, indicating he will defend the home crease versus Boston on Thursday.

      Advice: Woll has been sensational versus the Bruins in the postseason, giving up one goal on 28 shots in a 2-1 overtime win Tuesday in Game 5. He also stopped all five shots he faced in Game 4 after replacing Ilya Samsonov to start the third period. Woll has seen action in just 36 regular-season games in his NHL career, but he looked like a seasoned veteran while prevailing over the Bruins on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:25 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 Leafs alive Tuesday
      Woll made 27 saves Tuesday in a 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins in Game 5 of the Maple Leafs' first-round series.

      Advice: Facing elimination, the Leafs turned to Woll in net with Ilya Samsonov having looked a bit shaky in the first four games of the series. Woll was brilliant after getting beaten by Trent Frederic midway through the first period. It was Woll's first win since April 9, but he'll likely remain between the pipes when the series shifts back to Toronto for Game 6 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:05 am
