Hart will start vs. Seattle on Wednesday.

Vegas can lock up first-place in the Pacific Division with a win on Wednesday and will turn to Hart to tend the twine against the Seattle Kraken. Since John Tortorella took over as the Head Coach of the Golden Knights, he has relied heavily on Carter Hart, with whom he has a strong rapport from their time together with the Philadelphia Flyers. The 27-year-old Hart has repaid Tortorella's trust in him with terrific goaltending, posting a stellar 1.80 GAA and .925 SV% in five games (5-0-0). The Golden Knights enter Wednesday's contest as sizable -288 home favourites.

Since John Tortorella took over as the Head Coach of the Golden Knights, he has relied heavily on Carter Hart, with whom he has a strong rapport from their time together with the Philadelphia Flyers. The 27-year-old Hart has repaid Tortorella's trust in him with terrific goaltending, posting a stellar 1.80 GAA and .928 SV% in four games (4-0-0).

Hart will start in Vancouver on Tuesday.

Hart seems to have established himself as the new starting netminder for the Golden Knights as he'll get the nod for a third consecutive game on Tuesday. Hart was excellent in his last appearance, allowing just a single goal on 32 shots enroute to a 5-1 win in Edmonton on Saturday. The 27-year-old netminder has appeared in 14 games this season, posting a 7-3-3 record and an .880 SV%. He's a good bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday as the Golden Knights enter action at -260 on the money line.

Hart will start vs. Calgary on Thursday.

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.
