After it was all but confirmed Brian Elliott would get the start for the 2019 Stadium Series game on Friday, the Philadelphia Flyers announced early Saturday morning that fellow net-minder Carter Hart will be sidelined for at least 10 days of game-time with a lower-body injury.
I guess this somewhat explains why Hart struggled through his last two starts, getting pulled during the first period in each of those contests. His technique in-net looked a little off, at least to my eyes, during this last week too. He gave up some big rebounds during that time span and simply didn’t appear to play with the same confidence we as Flyers fans have come accustom to seeing.
