Hill ends road woes
Aidn Hill stopped 27 of 29 shots in Wednesday’s 4-2 win over the Oilers. Hill gave up both goals in a span of 3:38 during the second period, but the Golden Knights were able to rally for the win over the last 10 minutes of the game. This was the team’s first road win of the season, with Hill having previously lost his first two starts away from Vegas. The 28-year-old is now at a 6-2-0 record with a 3.01 GAA and an .882 save percentage across eight outings. Hill is expected to start again Friday in Seattle since Ilya Samsonov (undisclosed) is out and not on the road trip.
Grubauer day-to-day with an injury
Phillip Grubauer had an accident while at home. While he’s not seriously injured, he isn’t expected to be available for Friday’s home game against Vegas and is day-to-day beyond that, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports Thursday. Grubauer has a 1-5-0 record, 3.27 GAA and .877 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. Joey Daccord will likely start against the Golden Knights, and Ales Stezka or Niklas Kokko will probably be recalled from AHL Coachella Valley to serve as the understudy.

Golden Knights vs. Kraken Betting Prediction
Take Vegas. The Golden Knights are off to a 9-3-1 start. They’ve covered in nine out of those 13 games on the puckline, too. The price is right on the moneyline tonight, so we don’t need to lay the 1.5 on the puckline, even though it would give us extra value. Vegas has owned Seattle in previous meetings, winning five out of its last six meetings with the Kraken. The Golden Knights nearly swept this series a year ago, posting three victories against the Kraken in the four meetings between the two teams.
Golden Knights vs. Kraken Prediction: Vegas Golden Knights -135
