Vegas Golden Knights News

Hutton suffered an apparent foot injury late in Sunday’s loss in Vegas. Since the start of February, Hutton ranks third in the NHL in TOI/GP (26:42) trailing just Drew Doughty and Ryan Suter, so this is a huge loss for the Canucks blueline. Vancouver recalled Guillaume Brisebois from Utica (AHL) to replace Hutton on Tuesday.

Hart has been skating and is “doing ver well,” according to GM Chuck Fletcher. If everything goes well with him on Tuesday, Hart will join the team on the ice for Wednesday’s morning skate.

Stone was acquired from the Senators and signed an eight-year extension with the Golden Knights right away. Stone, who is one of the league’s best wingers, will make his debut on a line with Max Pacioretty and Paul Stastny.

Stone was a pending free-agent and the Golden Knights likely wouldn’t have part with their top prospect Erik Brannstrom if they weren’t re-signing Stone. Stone is projected to start on the Golden Knights’ top-line with William Karlsson and Jonathan Marchessault, where he should take his game to the next level.

Stone became the face of the Senators franchise after they traded away Erik Karlsson but it became clear that they were unlikely to reach an extension, which is why he was ultimately dealt at the deadline. Stone has already set a career-high in goals (28), marking the fifth straight season he has recorded 20-plus goals and 30-plus assists. Stone is also a reliable defensive player and is one of the league’s great pickpockets. He projects to skate in the Vegas top-6 and could even start on the top-line with William Karlsson and Jonathan Marchessault.

Brian Elliott was already the confirmed starter for Saturday’s Stadium Series game and now the Flyers have announced that Hart is dealing with a lower-body issue and will miss at least 10 days. Hart has struggled mightily in his last two outings, getting pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots in both starts. Cam Talbot, who the Flyers recently acquired from the Oilers, will backup Elliott on Saturday.

Hart allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Flyers loss to the Penguins on Monday. The loss snapped an eight-game winning streak for Hart, who is a must-start this afternoon vs. the Red Wings. The 20-year-old netminder has quickly turned into one of the best goalies in the NHL and stopped 20 of 22 shots in a 3-2 win in his first start vs. the Red Wings (Dec.18).

Hart allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Flyers win over the Ducks on Saturday. Hart extended his winning streak to eight games, posting a 2.35 GAA and .934 SV% over that span. Tonight he faces the Penguins for the first time in his carer and comes in at 9-2-1 with a 2.33 GAA and .932 SV% on home-ice since being called-up.

Hill was brought up to serve as Calvin Pickard’s backup on Tuesday but his return to the AHL suggests that Darcy Kemper will be back on Thursday vs. the Blue Jackets.

Darcy Kuemper suffered and upper-body injury in Dallas last night, so Hill comes up to serve as Calvin Pickard’s backup on Tuesday. Hill could remain with the team and get some playing time if Kuemper misses some time.

Hart allowed four goals on 44 shots, setting a new career-high in saves (40) in the Flyers overtime win over the Oilers on Saturday. The rookie netminder is the main reason for the Flyers recent success, winning six starts in a row while posting a 2.63 GAA and .926 SV%. Tonight he faces a surprising Canucks team that is 12-12-3 on the road this season.

Hart allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Flyers win in Boston on Thursday. Hart has been one of the hottest goalies in the NHL as of late, winning five in a row while posting a 2.38 GAA and .930 SV%. The 20-year-old grew up 20 minutes outside of Edmonton and will get a shot at his hometown team this afternoon. The Oilers have the worst record in the NHL (5-12-0) since the middle of December.
