Carter Hart started this season almost perfectly. He was making saves that we hadn’t seen him make at an NHL level, consistently, and was almost singlehandedly dragging the Flyers to success through the month of October.
But his team has never really improved to help him out, despite John Tortorella harping on defensive play through his first few months with the team. The numbers say that Carter Hart is one of the most overworked goalies in the entire NHL. Among goalies who have played 1000 or more minutes of action this season, only former Vezina trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck has faced more shots than Hart.
