Hart stopped 15 of 19 shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
After helping the Golden Knights battle back into Friday's high-scoring affair, Hart surrendered the game-winning goal with 93 seconds left in the contest. With the loss, he now holds a 4-3-3 record with a 3.28 GAA and an .876 save percentage through 10 games this season. The 27-year-old netminder has struggled mightily over his last three appearances while allowing 14 goals for an .800 save percentage. Despite averaging 3.88 goals per game, Vegas has gone 1-5-2 over its past eight outings. His next chance to bounce back is Sunday in Chicago.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Lit up in loss
Rotowire
Hart stopped seven of 12 shots before he was pulled from Monday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Hart gave up two goals in the first period and another three in the first 6:56 of the second before he was pulled. Akira Schmid took over and stopped 15 shots over the rest of the game, and Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Schmid was tabbed the starter for Wednesday's home game versus the Predators. With 16 goals allowed on 94 shots over his last four games, Hart's quality of play has taken a dip amid a challenging sequence of opponents. Schmid's performance Wednesday could have a large impact on the Golden Knights' goaltending usage heading into January. Hart is 4-2-3 with a 3.18 GAA and an .883 save percentage through nine starts so far.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Falls in shootout
Rotowire
Hart allowed five goals on 38 shots in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
Hart's five goals allowed were a new season high, and it's the third time in eight outings he's given up at least four. The 27-year-old made his third start in a row, though the holiday break likely played a role in the Golden Knights breaking their pattern of giving Akira Schmid every third start. Hart is now 4-1-3 with a 2.76 GAA and an .898 save percentage. He has the advantage for starts currently, but a slump would likely open the door for Schmid to claim a larger role. The Golden Knights have another tough matchup ahead when they host the Wild on Monday.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Cruises to fourth win
Rotowire
Hart stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.
Hart was spotted a five-goal lead after the first period, making this a fairly easy win even after he allowed a tally in each of the last two frames. He had lost his last two outings, but he appears to be the Golden Knights' preferred No. 1 in goal for now, starting two of every three games since Dec. 7. He's at a 4-1-2 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .904 save percentage over seven appearances.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Leaves ice first Tuesday
Rotowire
Hart was the first goalie off the ice Tuesday, Sin Bin Vegas reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus San Jose.
Hart has made six appearances for the Knights since his suspension was lifted, posting a 3-1-2 record and a 2.56 GAA. While the 27-year-old netminder has been taking the bulk of the workload, six starts in nine outings, he may not be utilized as a true workhorse No. 1 in Vegas, especially once Adin Hill (lower body) is cleared to return.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Torched by Oilers' best
Rotowire
Hart stopped 17 of 21 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
The Oilers' top players were buzzing early and racked up four goals over the first half of the game. Hart settled in after that, but the Golden Knights' comeback push fell short. Hart is now 3-1-2 with 2.56 GAA and a .903 save percentage over six appearances this season. A strong performance here would have given him a strong grip on the No. 1 job after Akira Schmid's disaster Saturday in Calgary, but it looks like Hart will have to settle for a slight edge for playing time heading into the holiday break. The Golden Knights play once more before the pause, hosting the Sharks on Tuesday.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Strong start lost in shootout
Rotowire
Hart allowed one goal on 33 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Devils.
Hart has maintained a save percentage of .900 or better in four of his first five outings for the Golden Knights. The Devils gave him a season-high 33 shots to see, and he turned in his best effort yet before stopping only two of three shootout attempts. He's now 3-0-2 with 12 goals allowed on 144 shots. Both Hart and Akira Schmid should get the nod in one of the next two games, as the Golden Knights have a road back-to-back ahead with stops in Calgary on Saturday and Edmonton on Sunday.

Hart has won three of his four starts this season, and he has yet to suffer a defeat in regulation. Over his four outings, he's 3-0-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .900 save percentage. Hart should maintain plenty of fantasy appeal while Adin Hill (lower body) is on injured reserve.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Falls in shootout
Rotowire
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.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Gets overtime win Sunday
Rotowire
Hart stopped 21 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
The Golden Knights were trending toward a loss until Tomas Hertl scored in the final minute of the third period. Jack Eichel provided similar heroics, getting behind the Rangers' defense for a partial breakaway goal at 4:52 of the extra session to secure Hart's second win in as many outings since he joined Vegas' NHL roster. Hart has allowed five goals on 53 shots over his two starts, with both wins coming past regulation time. Akira Schmid had a shutout win Friday in New Jersey to keep his name in the mix for playing time -- don't be surprised if the Golden Knights alternate goalies for a while until one emerges as the more consistent option. The team's road trip continues Tuesday versus the Islanders.
