In a highly competitive NHL game, goaltender Adin Hill delivered an exceptional performance, leading the Vegas Golden Knights to a 3-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. Hill's saves were crucial in halting the Oilers' 16-game winning streak. His remarkable efforts included a last-second left-pad save and denying Draisaitl and McDavid with critical stops. Chandler Stephenson contributed to the win with his 9th goal of the season, and the return of William Karlsson to the lineup provided a spark for the team. Vincent Desharnais also showed promise on the back end. Hill's performance was underscored by statistics from Natural Stat Trick, which credited him with saving 2.7 goals above expected. The game had a playoff atmosphere, with intense, end-to-end action. Hill's recent form has been outstanding, with a .955 save percentage, 1.67 goals-against average, and 5.33 goals saved above average in his last three starts since returning from a break. His save percentage has been over .900 in 15 of his 18 starts this year, a significant achievement compared to the league-wide goalie average.
Adin Hill is on FIRE Yet another game tonight with a save % over .900. He’s done it in 15/18 starts this year (83.3%). For context, league-wide goalies are posting .900+ in only 49.8% of starts. Going back to last year Hill has done it in 36 of his last 43 (83.7%). En fuego

Terrific playoff style game tonight in Vegas. The @EdmontonOilers played better tonight than in 6 or 7 of their wins during the 16-game streak...but Adin Hill was locked-in. Vincent Desharnais emerging on the back end. Oilers fans brought it in Vegas too!

Adin Hill with the last-second left-pad save. Absolutely incredible.
ADIN HILL. My goodness. Robs McDavid.
Adin Hill has been the best player on the ice all night, and he was again there to rob Draisaitl on the backdoor one-timer. What a save!
Terrific game in Vegas off the break -- 2-1 early third, VGK over Oilers. Vegas trying to stop Edmonton's 16-game winning streak. Stephenson with 9th of season.
