General manager Kelly McCrimmon said Monday that Hart (lower body) isn't scheduled to be available until after the 2026 Winter Olympics, SinBin.vegas reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hart was placed on injured reserve Thursday due to the lower-body injury he sustained against Columbus on Jan. 8. Adin Hill and Akira Schmid will handle the goaltending duties while Hart is on the shelf. The 27-year-old Hart will seemingly look to be ready when the Golden Knights resume play in Los Angeles on Feb. 25 after the Olympic break.

Hart (lower body) was put on injured reserve Thursday, per SinBin.vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Hart has a 5-3-3 record, 3.28 GAA and .871 save percentage in 12 outings in 2025-26. He hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to the injury. Adin Hill (lower body) has been taken off injured reserve in a corresponding move and will probably serve as the No. 1 netminder, while Akira Schmid will serve as the No. 2. Goaltender Carl Lindbom is also on the active roster, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him sent to the minors in the near future now that Hill is healthy. Once Hart is ready to return, he might supplement Schmid as the No. 2 netminder, though Schmid, Hill and Hart might find themselves all getting starts on a semi-regular basis.

Hart (lower body) is week-to-week, per SinBin Vegas on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Hart won't be an option for Saturday's home matchup against St. Louis, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has a 5-3-3 record this season with a 3.28 GAA and an .871 save percentage across 12 appearances. Akira Schmid and Carl Lindbom will handle the goaltending duties for the Golden Knights until Hart or Adin Hill (lower body) receives the green light to return.

Hart sustained an apparent lower-body injury in Thursday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hart couldn't put weight on his left leg after falling awkwardly on it during the sequence that led to the Blue Jackets' first goal. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up Saturday versus the Blues. If Hart misses time, Carl Lindbom could be called up from AHL Henderson if Adin Hill (lower body) isn't ready to return.

Hart was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod at home against the Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Since making his debut for the Knights on Dec. 2 against Chicago, Hart has posted a 5-3-3 record, 3.23 GAA and .874 save percentage in his 11 appearances. The 27-year-old netminder should still be capable of reaching the 10-win mark for a fourth consecutive season in which he's been active, and he could still manage to get to 20 victories if he avoids any stints on the shelf due to injury.

Hart will guard the road goal versus the Jets on Tuesday, per SinBin.Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Hart will look to bounce back from a stretch in which he's gone 1-3-1 with 20 goals allowed over his last five games. The 27-year-old will get the chance to face another struggling team, as the Jets are losers of nine straight (0-6-3) entering Tuesday's matchup.

Hart stopped 15 of 19 shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Hart is set to start on the road against St. Louis on Friday, per Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
EDGE Analysis
Hart is 4-2-3 with a 3.18 GAA and an .883 save percentage in nine appearances this season. He's allowed five goals in each of his past two appearances. St. Louis ranks 32nd in goals per game with 2.46 and has lost its past two games while being outscored 10-3.

Hart stopped seven of 12 shots before he was pulled from Monday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
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.
