Carter Hart News

Carter Hart will start Wednesday in Carolina.

Hart will start for the Flyers on Wednesday, marking his first game action since November 1st, when he allowed two goals on five shots. Hart was originally out of the lineup with a mid-boy injury and, more recently, dealing with an illness. The Flyers managed to hold down the fort in Hart's absence, posting a 3-2-0 record, but will be thrilled to have their workhorse goaltender back in the mix. The 25-year-old Hart is in the midst of his best season in four years, boasting a 2.52 GAA and .913 SV% through eight games (4-3-0). Hart will be thrown to the lions in his return to action as the Flyers are sizeable +218 road underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes team coming off a dominant 4-0 shutout victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Carter Hart (illness) was back at practice and expected to play Wednesday vs. Carolina.

After missing five games due to an injury and an illness, Hart was a full participant at practice on Tuesday and is expected to be the Flyers' starter on Wednesday. The Flyers went 3-2-0 in his absence behind the goaltending tandem Samuel Ersson and Cal Petersen. Hart has a 2.52 GAA and .913 SV% through eight games this season (4-3-0) and should be a workhorse for the Flyers the rest of the season as long as he can stay healthy.

Carter Hart (mid body) is day-to-day and will miss Friday's game vs. Buffalo.

Hart left the Flyers' Wednesday night game against the Buffalo Sabres midway through the first period with an apparent mid-body injury and did not return. Outside of being ruled out for Friday's game, the severity of his injury hasn't been confirmed yet but any extended absence will be a huge loss for the Flyers as he has been off to a terrific start, posting a 2.52 GAA and .913 SV% through eight games (4-3-1). Samuel Ersson will start on Friday in his absence.

Hart left Wednesday's game with a mid-body injury and did not return.

Hart left the Flyers' Wednesday night game against the Buffalo Sabres midway through the first period with an apparent mid-body injury and was unable to return. Hart's status hasn't been confirmed yet but any extended absence will be a huge loss for the Flyers as he has been off to a terrific start, posting a 2.52 GAA and .913 SV% through eight games (4-3-1). Look for Samuel Ersson and Felix Sandstrom to take on Hart's goaltending duties in his absence.

Carter Hart will start Start Wednesday vs. Buffalo.

Hart will start for the Flyers on Wednesday after allowing three goals on 33 shots in their most recent contest, a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Hart has been splendid between the pipes early this season, recording a 2.30 GAA and .921 SV% through seven games (4-3-0) and is one of the main reasons why last season's 26th-ranked Flyers are off to a respectable 4-4-1 start this season. The Flyers are slight -106 home favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team that ranks eighth in the Atlantic Division.

Carter Hart will start Monday vs. Carolina.

Hart served as the Flyers' backup goalie on Saturday as he watched Samuel Ersson struggle, allowing seven goals on 25 shots in a 7-4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. The Flyers will look to get back on track as Hart will return to the crease and look to continue his outstanding 2.18 GAA and .924 SV% start to the season (4-2-0). That said, the Flyers are +169 home underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes team that has won two straight, outscoring their opposition 6-2 in those games.

Carter Hart will start Thursday vs. Minnesota.

On Tuesday, Hart allowed three goals on 29 shots in a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights but will look to rebound when he takes the starter's crease on Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild. Hart has a 3-2-0 record along with an impressive 2.21 GAA and .922 SV% through five contests. The Minnesota Wild have been scoring with ease, despite being without Matt Boldy, averaging 4.17 goals per game so far this season (3-2-1), attributing to the Flyers +104 home underdogs.

Hart will start in Vegas on Tuesday.

Hart will return to the Flyers' crease on Tuesday after getting a night off on Saturday against the Stars courtesy of backup Samuel Ersson. Hart has been outstanding through his first four games of the season, and is the primary reason why the Flyers currently find themselves atop the Metropolitan division. The 25-year-old netminder has registered a .929 SV% and a 2.01 GAA to go along with his 3-1-0 record. He'll face the biggest test of his young season so far in the defending Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights, who have won all six of their games to open the campaign.

Carter Hart will start Thursday vs. Edmonton.

Hart is coming off his best performance of the young season in which he recorded a 25-save shutout to lead his Flyers to a 2-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. In three games this year, Hart has 2.35 GAA and .921 SV% but will be hard-pressed to continue his early-season success tonight as the Flyers are +177 home underdogs against Connor McDavid and the high-scoring Edmonton Oilers. Working in his favour, Hart performed admirably in his two games against the Oilers last season (1-1-0), recording a 1.96 GAA and .934 SV%.

Carter Hart will start Tuesday vs. Vancouver.

Hart struggled in his previous start after allowing five goals on 31 shots (.839 SV%) in a loss to Ottawa but will take the crease Tuesday vs. Vancouver. The 25-year-old netminder has been up and down in his two starts so far this season, with a 1-1-0 record, 3.53 GAA and .891 SV%. He takes on the undefeated Vancouver Canucks (2-0-0), who rank first in the NHL in goals per game (6.0) after beating up on Edmonton in both of their games.

Hart will start Saturday afternoon in Ottawa.

Hart stopped 31 of 33 shots in the Flyers' opening night win over the Blue Jackets on Thursday. It was a strong start to the season for Hart, who was 22-23-10 with a 2.94 GAA and .907 SV% a season ago. This afternoon, he'll face a Senators team that he succeeded against last season, going 1-1-0 while stopping 56 of the 60 shots (.933 SV%) that he faced.

Carter Hart will start the Flyers' season opener vs. Columbus.

Hart will begin his sixth NHL season as the starter for the Philadelphia Flyers in their season-opening matchup against the Blue Jackets. In 55 games last season (22-23-10), Hart posted a respectable 2.94 GAA and .907 SV% for a struggling Flyers team that ranked 26th last season (31-38-13). The Flyers will hope to get off to a good start against a Blue Jackets team that ranked third-worst offensively last season, averaging only 2.60 goals per game. Hart is the bonafide starting goalie in Philadelphia and should see plenty of action this season.
