LAS VEGAS \u2014 Vegas\u00a0Golden Knights\u00a0goalie Carter Hart<\/a> left the team’s morning skate with an undisclosed injury, and Adin Hill<\/a> will start Tuesday night’s game against the Ottawa Senators.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s in good hands,\u201d coach Ryan Craig said. \u201cWe’ve got a plan here moving forward either way. We’ll be ready for tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hart is 4-3-1, with a 2.76 goals-against average and an .889 save percentage, but he has shared much of the net time with Hill (4-1, 2.95, .882).<\/p>\n

Both goaltenders have dealt with injuries over the past several seasons. Hart\u00a0missed nearly three months\u00a0last season after injuring his left leg and then was expected to back up Hill in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

But then-coach Bruce Cassidy was\u00a0fired with eight games left, and replacement John Tortorella instead put Hart in the net. Hart delivered by helping lead a late surge in the regular season before going 12-4 over the first three rounds with a 2.22 GAA and .924 save percentage.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0struggled in the Stanley Cup Final\u00a0against Carolina, however, becoming the first goalie to allow at least four goals in the first five games. The\u00a0Hurricanes won the series in six games.<\/p>\n

Hart’s presence in Vegas was a controversial topic in the hockey world and beyond. He was one of five players from the 2018 Canada world junior team who were\u00a0acquitted last July of sexual assault.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0NHL ruled\u00a0those players were eligible to sign deals beginning Oct. 15, 2025, and to play starting Dec. 1. Hart signed a\u00a0two-year, $4 million contract\u00a0with the Golden Knights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS \u2014 Vegas\u00a0Golden Knights\u00a0goalie Carter Hart left the team’s morning skate with an undisclosed injury, and Adin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":943167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-943166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943166","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=943166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/943167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=943166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=943166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=943166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
