Adin Hill Makes Another Start With James Reimer Sick
3 years agoSan Jose Sharks goaltender Adin Hill will be guarding the crease again on Friday against the Rangers, with James Reimer having fallen ill. This is the second game of a back-to-back set and Reimer was scheduled to start, so Hill finds himself in a pretty unexpected situation. The 25-year-old beat the Islanders 2-1 in overtime with a 24-save effort on Thursday. The win allowed Hill to improve his record for the year to 5-5-0. He's given up 2.74 goals per game this season with a .903 save percentage and one shutout. Playing two nights in a row is always very difficult for goaltenders, and the Sharks have had very little success in the matchup in recent years, dropping five straight games, so Hill isn't a very good goalie option for Friday's slate.
