Hart stopped 21 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
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. He's 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 road trip continues Tuesday versus the Islanders.

Hart will serve as the starting goaltender for Sunday's road game against the Rangers, Steve Carp of The Sporting Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hart picked up a shootout win in his team debut against Chicago on Tuesday, turning aside 27 of 30 shots. He rested Friday in New Jersey but will draw his first road start as a member of the Golden Knights on Sunday. The Rangers have struggled offensively this year, scoring just 2.67 goals per game, which is the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.

Hart (lower body) will return to the lineup in Sunday's road game against the Rangers, SinBin Vegas reports.
EDGE Analysis
Akira Schmid made 24 saves in a 3-0 shutout win against New Jersey on Friday, and Hart sat out the contest. Vegas returned Jesper Vikman to AHL Henderson on Sunday, paving the way for Hart's return. However, it's unclear who will start for the Golden Knights against the Rangers.

Hart (lower body) won't suit up Friday versus the Devils and is considered day-to-day, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hart apparently came out of his season debut Tuesday a little worse for wear. Akira Schmid will start Friday, with Jesper Vikman serving as the backup goalie. It's unclear if Hart will be ready for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Hart stopped 27 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Hart didn't get to work with a lead for long -- Vegas was ahead for just 56 seconds in the first period. The 27-year-old was able to settle in fairly well, and he turned three of four shootout attempts to come away with the win in his first game in nearly two years. Until Adin Hill (lower body) is healthy, Hart and Akira Schmid figure to split the goaltending duties. The Golden Knights begin a road trip Friday in New Jersey.

Hart was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, indicating he'll tend the twine at home versus Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Hart will suit up in an NHL game for the first time in nearly two years, having last played for the Flyers back in January of 2024. While Akira Schmid should continue to see the bulk of the workload for the Golden Knights, some good performances could see Hart force his way into a split share.

Hart (suspension) was recalled from his conditioning loan with AHL Henderson on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Hart's suspension ends Monday, making him eligible to be in the lineup for Tuesday's home game against Chicago. However, it's unclear when he will make his Vegas debut. During his stint in the minors, he went 1-2-0 with a 3.07 GAA and an .839 save percentage in three appearances.

Hart (suspension) stopped 12 of 16 shots in AHL Henderson's 4-3 loss to Ontario on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hart has allowed nine goals on 56 shots over three appearances during his conditioning loan with Henderson. He's gone 1-2-0, and it's safe to say he's still rusty after this brief return to game action. Friday's appearance is likely to be his last start during the conditioning loan, but given his performance, it's fair to question if Vegas will want to thrust him into the backup role at the NHL level right away. If the Golden Knights wanted to get him more playing time in the AHL, he would require waivers to continue his stay in Henderson.

Hart (suspension) was assigned to AHL Henderson on Saturday for a conditioning loan.
EDGE Analysis
Hart isn't eligible to play for Vegas until December, but he can begin to get himself back into game shape in the minors. Adin Hill (lower body) moved to injured reserve ahead of Saturday's road matchup against St. Louis. Assuming they are both healthy, Hart and Hill will probably compete for starts with the Golden Knights. Vegas currently has Akira Schmid and Carl Lindbom as the top two netminders on the roster.

Hart (suspension) signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Golden Knights on Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hart joined the Golden Knights on a professional tryout agreement last week and has been practicing at the team's facility since then. He can start appearing in games with AHL Henderson beginning Nov. 15, but he won't be able to suit up for Vegas until Dec. 1 due to disciplinary measures from the league. Adin Hill (lower body) is considered week-to-week after exiting Monday's win over the Hurricanes, and Akira Schmid will likely serve as the Golden Knights' No. 1 option in his absence, while Carl Lindbom was recalled from the AHL.
