The Golden Knights ruled Brossoit out for the rest of the game in the first intermission.

Adin Hill entered the contest in his place and excelled, stopping all 25 shots he faced in a 5-1 victory. He made his second appearance of the playoffs after relieving Brossoit in the third period of Game 2, which the Oilers won 5-1.

Hill went 16-7-1 with a .915 save percentage in 27 games during the regular season, 25 of which were starts.

Jonathan Quick is Vegas' third goalie.

Brossoit provided stability in the Golden Knights' crease down the stretch. He went 7-0-3 with a .927 save percentage in 11 games during the regular season, including a span in April when he went 5-0-0 with a .946 clip after taking over as the starter in the wake of injuries to Hill and Logan Thompson.

Brossoit entered Monday's game with a 5-2 record and a .896 save percentage in these playoffs.
