The goalie, who signed a two-year, $4 million contract ($2 million AAV) with Vegas on Oct. 15, practiced with the team Monday after playing three games for Henderson of the AHL (1-2-0, 3.07 goals-against average, .839 save percentage). Hart became eligible to return to an NHL game on Monday, with his most recent NHL appearance having taken place on Jan. 20, 2024, as a member of the Philadelphia Flyers. He was one of the five members of Canada\u2019s 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship team acquitted of sexual assault charges following a trial this summer. Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said a decision on whether Hart would start would be made Tuesday morning. \u201cI think for me, preparation is everything,\u201d Hart said after practice. \u201cI\u2019ve worked my [butt] off to get back to this point. \u2026 I\u2019ve done everything I can to be prepared, and I\u2019ll be prepared if I get the call tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vegas Golden Knights Carter Hart could make his Golden Knights debut when they host the Blackhawks on Tuesday&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":323130,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-323129","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/323130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
