Vegas Golden Knights News

The Golden Knights relied heavily on Carter Hart when he made his debut in December, making Schmid an afterthought, but now with Hart (lower body) sidelined, the team seems keen on rotating between Schmid and the recently activated Adin Hill. The 25-year-old Schmid was excellent in his most recent game, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) in a 7-2 win over the Nashville Predators, and has a 2.05 GAA and .917 SV% during a four-game winning streak. The Golden Knights enter Thursday's contest as -140 road favorites against a Boston Bruins team whose six-game winning streak was snapped on Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to the Dallas Stars.

Andersson was finally acquired by the Golden Knights on Sunday, materializing trade rumours that have circulated since the offseason. The 29-year-old Andersson was having a tremendous season with the Flames, but an eventual trade was all but certain for the impending UFA defenseman. He was pacing for career-best offensive totals before the trade, scoring 30 points (10G / 20A) in 48 games with Calgary. Andersson's work visa is still being finalized, and he will not play on Thursday, but could make his team debut on Friday.

Howden has been productive in primarily a bottom-six role for the Golden Knights this season, scoring 15 points (9G / 6A) in 39 games. That said, he will be sidelined for at least a week because of a lower-body injury. Jonas Rondbjerg was recalled from Henderson (AHL) in a corresponding move.

Rondbjerg was drafted in the third round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Golden Knights. The 26-year-old forward played 13 games with the Golden Knights last season, but has spent the entirety of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he has 23 points (12G / 11A) in 35 games with Henderson.

Megna will immediately slot into the lineup after being recalled from Henderson (AHL) earlier in the day. Megna will take the spot of the recently traded Zach Whitecloud, as Rasmus Andersson is not available yet due to immigration issues.

Hill endured an up-and-down return to the crease last week, ultimately coming away with the victory in a 6-5 overtime win over the Maple Leafs on Thursday. It was the 29-year-old's first game since October 20th after a lower-body injury kept him out of the lineup for nearly three months. Hill carries a 2-0-2 record and an .872 SV% into Monday night's matchup, where the Golden Knights enter action at -210 on the money line.

With Adin Hill returning from a prolonged injury last night, the Golden Knights have reassigned Lindbom to the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL). The 22-year-old Lindbom made his NHL debut this season, posting a 3.00 GAA and .873 SV% in eight outings (2-4-2).

Sissons will be the odd-man out when the Golden Knights host the Maple Leafs on Thursday. Tanner Laczynski will make his season debut in his place.

Laczynski has five points (3G / 2A) in 46 career NHL games, but has spent the entirety of the 2025-26 season in the AHL. The 28-year-old forward has an impressive 35 points (13G / 22A) in 32 games with the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL) this season.

After being activated off injured reserve earlier in the day, Hill will make his long-anticipated return to the Golden Knights crease on Thursday. The 29-year-old Hill has not played since October 20th. He has a 2.55 GAA and .909 SV% in 117 combined games with the Golden Knights (68-32-10) over the past few seasons. Hill and the Golden Knights enter action on Thursday at -135 on the money line.

Head Coach Bruce Cassidy indicated earlier in the week that Hill could potentially start on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, which could still be the case after Hill was activated from Injured Reserve on Thursday afternoon. The 29-year-old Hill has not played since October 20th. He has a 2.55 GAA and .909 SV% in 117 combined games with the Golden Knights (68-32-10) over the past few seasons.
