Carter Hart News

Hart will make his NHL debut Tuesday vs. the Red Wings.

Hart will be a sixth goalie to dress for the Flyers this season and will be leaned on to save their season. The 20-year-old was a second-round pick in 2016 and is viewed as one of the NHL’s top goaltending prospects. Hart was 9-5-1 with a 3.05 GAA and .901 SV% in his first 17 professional games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) but was impressive in his last five games, going 4-1-0 with a 1.82 GAA and .939 SV%.

The Flyers have recalled Carter Hart from Lehigh Valley (AHL).

Hart is one of the top goaltending prospects in the NHL and his time has arrived earlier than expected. With Brian Elliott and Anthony Stolarz on IR, Michal Neuvirth and Alex Lyon playing terribly, Hart is going to get a chance. Hart has played better as of late but his AHL numbers aren’t great—9-5-1, 3.05 GAA and .901 SV%. Expect him to make his NHL debut vs. Detroit on Tuesday.
