Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Falls in shootout

Hart stopped 23 of 27 shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Islanders.

Hart surrendered three goals in the first two periods before he helped Vegas claw its way back into the game to force the extra period. The Islanders won the game on their fourth shootout shot, courtesy of Emil Heineman. With the loss, Hart now has a 2-0-1 record with a 2.80 GAA and an .889 save percentage through his first three appearances with the Golden Knights. All three games in which Hart has played for Vegas have gone to overtime, but he's been able to hold on for wins in two of those outings. If he can continue to maintain his level of decent play, he should be able to pick up some wins behind an elite Golden Knights' offense. He is a solid streaming option while Adin Hill (lower body) remains on injured reserve. Hart has started the last two games for Vegas, which could lead to Akira Schmid playing against Hart's former team in Philadelphia on Thursday.
