Hart has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since early January, but he will return to the crease on Thursday in new Head Coach John Tortorella's second game. The 27-year-old Hart was inconsistent with Vegas in a small sample size earlier this season, returning from a nearly two-year absence to post a 3.28 GAA and .871 SV% in 12 games (5-3-3). The Golden Knights hope that Hart can return to the form he showed in two seasons under Tortorella's tutelage with the Philadelphia Flyers, when he posted a 2.90 GAA and .907 SV% across 81 games (34-32-13). The Golden Knights enter Thursday's contest as sizable -238 home favourites against a Flames team coming off a 9-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.
