Carter Hart and his rocky start aren’t as worrying as you might think

Lake Tahoe wasn’t kind to the Flyers, but it was especially cruel to goaltender Carter Hart. There was naturally a surge in criticism following last night’s 7-3 loss, but is there really a reason to be concerned?

In what was his worst statistical outing since the 4th game of last season, Hart surrendered six total goals to the Bruins, with four coming in the second period before Carter Hart was pulled from the game.

That first part is important. Hart also struggled to start last season before going on to record a campaign that left fans across the country purring.
