Carter Hart - NHL News & Rumors

Cruises to fourth win Hart stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Hart was spotted a five-goal lead after the first period, making this a fairly easy win even after he allowed a tally in each of the last two frames. He had lost his last two outings, but he appears to be the Golden Knights' preferred No. 1 in goal for now, starting two of every three games since Dec. 7. He's at a 4-1-2 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .904 save percentage over seven appearances.

Leaves ice first Tuesday Hart was the first goalie off the ice Tuesday, Sin Bin Vegas reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus San Jose.

Impact Hart has made six appearances for the Knights since his suspension was lifted, posting a 3-1-2 record and 2.56 GAA. While the 27-year-old netminder has been taking the bulk of the workload, six starts in nine outings, he may not be utilized as a true workhorse No. 1 in Vegas, especially once Adin Hill (lower body) is cleared to return.

Torched by Oilers' best Hart stopped 17 of 21 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.

Impact The Oilers' top players were buzzing early and racked up four goals over the first half of the game. Hart settled in after that, but the Golden Knights' comeback push fell short. Hart is now 3-1-2 with 2.56 GAA and a .903 save percentage over six appearances this season. A strong performance here would have given him a strong grip on the No. 1 job after Akira Schmid's disaster Saturday in Calgary, but it looks like Hart will have to settle for a slight edge for playing time heading into the holiday break. The Golden Knights play once more before the pause, hosting the Sharks on Tuesday.

Impact Hart has been solid since joining the Golden Knights, as he's gone 3-0-2 with a 2.26 GAA and .917 save percentage over his first five starts of the season. He'll face his toughest opponent yet during Sunday's matchup, as the Oilers rank third in the NHL with 3.40 goals per game.

Strong start lost in shootout Hart allowed one goal on 33 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Devils.

Impact Hart has maintained a save percentage of .900 or better in four of his first five outings for the Golden Knights. The Devils gave him a season-high 33 shots to see, and he turned in his best effort yet before stopping only two of three shootout attempts. He's now 3-0-2 with 12 goals allowed on 144 shots. Both Hart and Akira Schmid should get the nod in one of the next two games, as the Golden Knights have a road back-to-back ahead with stops in Calgary on Saturday and Edmonton on Sunday.

Falls in shootout Hart stopped 23 of 27 shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Islanders.

Impact Hart surrendered three goals in the first two periods before he helped Vegas claw its way back into the game to force the extra period. He ultimately would fall on the Islanders' fourth attempt of the shootout, which was scored by Emil Heineman. With the loss, Hart now has a 2-0-1 record with a 2.80 GAA and an .889 save percentage through his first three appearances with the Golden Knights. All three games where Hart has played for Vegas have gone to overtime, but he's been able to hold on for wins in two of those outings. If he can continue to maintain his level of decent play, he should be able to pick up some wins behind an elite Golden Knights' offense. He is a solid streaming option in fantasy in two-goalie formats while Adin Hill (lower-body) remains on injured reserve. Hart has started the last two games for Vegas, so while Akira Schmid could be next in line to grab Thursday's start, Vegas is set to play Philadelphia, giving Hart a revenge-game opportunity against his former team if he does play.

Gets overtime win Sunday Hart stopped 21 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

Impact The Golden Knights were trending toward a loss until Tomas Hertl scored in the final minute of the third period. Jack Eichel provided similar heroics, getting behind the Rangers' defense for a partial breakaway goal at 4:52 of the extra session to secure Hart's second win in as many outings since he joined Vegas' NHL roster. He's allowed five goals on 53 shots over his two starts, with both wins coming past regulation time. Akira Schmid had a shutout win Friday in New Jersey to keep his name in the mix for playing time -- don't be surprised if the Golden Knights alternate goalies for a while until one emerges as the more consistent option. The road trip continues Tuesday versus the Islanders.
