When Carter Hart left the morning skate early, everyone collectively held their breath. He did not appear to be laboring at all when he left, but it was still not a good sign for the Flyers.
Alex Lyon became the only goaltender in the ice for the Flyers pregame practice. It has become known that Brian Elliott does not take the skate when he is the starting goaltender.
Alain Vigneault had already done his pregame availability before practice, so it would take some time before finding out what could be ailing Hart.
