Golden Knights activate Carter Hart off injured reserve and start him versus Flames
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Golden Knights goalie Carter Hart was activated off injured reserve and started Vegas' game Thursday night against the Calgary Flames. Hart has been out since injuring his left leg Jan. 8 against Columbus.
John Tortorella, in his second game since replacing Bruce Cassidy , coached Hart in Philadelphia in from 2022-24. “Carter and I have a really good relationship,” Tortorella said. "He's becoming a really good pro.
I love the kid. We've had a lot of conversations. I think he's handled himself so well through some pretty hard times the past couple of years.
“I think he's a good kid. People have made judgments on him. People are still making judgments on him.
” Vegas signed Hart in October and he made his first appearance Dec. 2 in a 4-3 victory over Chicago. It was his first NHL appearance in nearly two years.
