It is no secret that the Philadelphia Flyers are where they are because of goaltending. With the worst goaltending by save percentage in the entire league by more than a whole percentage point, this team is in a weird situation before the April 12 trade deadline.
Management decided to shutdown Carter Hart for a week or so, leaving him to practice with the team but not appear even as a backup in the next few games, as he tries to rejuvenate his season from catastrophe. Meanwhile, Alex Lyon and Brian Elliott are forming the weirdest tandem that is somehow getting wins on their stat sheet without even really putting in worthwhile performances.
