Throughout the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final, the Vegas Golden Knights have won pretty much every battle. From the faceoff draw to high-danger scoring chances, Vegas has been by far the better team. The biggest win has to be in net for Vegas, and that will have to be the case again in Game 3 with Adin Hill between the pipes for Vegas.

Adin Hill can seal the deal for a Game 3 Golden Knights win

Adin Hill is playing in his first-ever postseason run in his career. The 27-year-old goaltender was drafted in the third round of the 2015 NHL draft by the Arizona Coyotes and has since played for three different teams. His most successful run has been this past season with the Golden Knights which could earn him a pretty nice contract at the end of the season.

Going into Game 3, all eyes are on Adin Hill to help seal the deal for a win. In his last two games, he has put up a .943 save percentage and a .935 save percentage. In fact, he has only let in four goals on his last 89 shots he faced going back to the Golden Knights’ 6-0 win over the Dallas Stars in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final.

Hill has made some pretty incredible saves throughout the playoffs thus far, and he has definitely become a fan favorite for Knights fans.

In the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final, even when the Golden Knights had their back against the wall with the Panthers applying pressure, Adin Hill has been great in net. He has shut down a Panthers offense that is not used to scoring just two goals a game.

Since falling behind 3-1 to the Boston Bruins, the Florida Panthers have not had issues finding the back of the net. They have scored more than two goals in nine of their last 12 games entering the Stanley Cup Final, so if Hill can continue to shut them down and limit them to two goals or less, Vegas should have no problem walking away with a win again tonight.

The puck drop is scheduled for 8 pm E.T. tonight in Florida. Hill does already have two shutouts this postseason, both on the road. Maybe Golden Knights fans will be celebrating his third shutout tonight.
