Goalie Start
Hart will start Vegas' season opener vs. Chicago on Tuesday.
After leading Vegas to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, Carter Hart will draw Vegas' opening night start on Tuesday vs. Chicago. The 28-year-old took over the Golden Knights' crease in the 2nd half of last season and posted an impressive 11-3-3 record despite having an ugly .891 SV% and 2.71 GAA. He will host the Connor Bedard-less Chicago Blackhawks in Vegas on Tuesday, who are hoping to improve on their abysmal 72 points from 2025-26, which ranked them second-to-last in the NHL.

The 25-year-old forward scored 56 points (30G / 26A) last season in 45 games with the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL).
