Hart will start the Flyers season opener on Friday.

Hart struggled in 2021, going 9-11-5 with a 3.67 GAA and .877 SV%. Still, Hart is just 23-years-old and the future of the Flyers' crease. In the two previous seasons, Hart combined for a .915 SV%, which is more what you should expect from him this season. His first start will come against a Canucks team that lost 3-2 in a shootout in Edmonton on Wednesday.
