After being unavailable for several weeks due to a myriad of illnesses and injuries, Hart will start for the fourth time in the last five games for the Flyers on Tuesday. Hart has saved 35 of the last 37 shots he's faced (.946 S%) and was tremendous in his only other meeting against the Edmonton Oilers this season, saving 22 of 23 shots (.957 SV%) in a 4-1 win on October 19th. The Flyers will look to snap a two-game losing skid (0-1-1) but are +161 road underdogs against an Oilers team looking to win their sixth straight game.






Hart entered Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks early in the third period, saving all eight shots he faced after Samuel Ersson exited the game due to dehydration. Hart has been a stranger to the Flyers crease over the last month as he has battled a myriad of illnesses and injuries that limited him to action in only five December games (3-0-1), posting a .929 SV%. The Flyers are +117 road underdogs against a rested Seattle Kraken club that has won three straight games.

Andersson did not practice on Friday due to an illness but might not miss any game action as the Flames do not play until Sunday. Andersson only has two points (1G / 1A) in his last seven games but is averaging 25:08 time-on-ice and 2.6 shots per game.

Olofsson has played 22 consecutive games for the Sabres but is expected to be a healthy scratch on Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Olofsson is averaging 11:58 time-on-ice this season but has seen that total dip as low as 6:43 during a nine-game stretch where he has only recorded a single point (0G / 1A).

Samuel Ersson has started the last five games for the Flyers, including a 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators last night, as Hart has been recovering from an illness. Hart will return to the crease on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings as the 25-year-old netminder will search for his fourth straight win. Hart has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his last three contests (3-0-0), posting a dazzling .958 SV%. The Flyers are +118 road underdogs on Friday against a Red Wings team that has scored only six goals over their last four games (0-4-0).

Hart was originally reported to be starting Tuesday but ultimately remained out for a fourth-straight game due to illness. The 25-year-old returned to practice Monday but was deemed not fit to return on Tuesday even though he was a full participant. When he does return between the pipes, he will look to build off his 9-6-1 record, 2.42 GAA and .919 SV%.

Hill returned to action after a multi-week absence on Sunday but exited the game in the first period with an undisclosed injury. It is unclear if his current ailment is related to his previous injury, but he will be out of the lineup for at least the next three games as Logan Thompson will continue to see the lion's share of action between the pipes in the interim.
