Carter Hart stands tall in Philadelphia Flyers win over Vancouver

Coming off yet another victory in their last contest, the Philadelphia Flyers looked for their eighth straight victory hosting the Vancouver Canucks in the second game of a five game handstand.

Carter Hart received his third straight start and opposed Jacob Markstrom in-net. Markstrom entered the game with a 20-13-6 record, 2.79 Goals-Against Average, and a .910 save percentage. The Flyers needed another good showing from their offense in order to get the win, especially given the 6’6 net-minder’s success on the season coming in.

Nolan Patrick took a tripping penalty early on to start the game, but the Hart led penalty killing unit was up to the task and kept things even at zero.
