Carter Hart absolutely robbed the Vegas Golden Knights of two points on Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Philadelphia Flyers beat Vegas 2-1 on the scoreboard to wrap up the eight-game homestand, but really it was one man who earned the victory, 23-year-old netminder Carter Hart.
Hart set a new career (regular season) high for saves, stopping 47 of the Knights’ 48 shots. Hart’s only other 40-save performance this season came on December 10 in Vegas, when he stopped 41 of 44 to end the Flyers’ first 10-game losing streak.
Now, the Orange and Black are a win away from a bona fide winning streak, having now won consecutive games for the first time since back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Kings and Winnipeg Jets following the 13-game losing streak.
