Hart signed a contract with the Golden Knights on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hart was eligible to sign a contract with an NHL club as early as Wednesday as part of an agreement with the league after he was acquitted of sexual assault charges in the Hockey Canada trial. Hart won't be eligible to suit up for the Golden Knights until Dec. 1 due to disciplinary measures from the league. He's with the organization on a tryout and is expected to begin working with AHL Henderson, and he'll be eligible to begin practicing with the Golden Knights on Nov. 15. Adin Hill sustained a lower-body injury in the first period of Tuesday's game against the Flames, and Vegas has Akira Schmid as a backup and Carl Lindbom in the AHL if Hill misses time. Once Hart is able to make his team debut, he'll likely have a chance to push for playing time, assuming Hill is healthy.

Hart, who was acquitted of sexual assault charges in the Hockey Canada trial, is eligible to play in the NHL beginning Dec. 1, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Thursday.

Thus far, Hart's former team, the Flyers, hasn't commented on whether they will pursue a deal for the goaltender, but several teams were reportedly monitoring the situation in regard to when Hart would be eligible to play again.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Hart has a 12-9-3 record this season with one shutout, a 2.80 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 26 appearances. Philadelphia brought up Cal Petersen from AHL Lehigh Valley to serve as Samuel Ersson's backup against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Ersson will likely see the bulk of the starts for the Flyers until Hart returns.

Hart allowed five goals on 15 shots before being replaced by Samuel Ersson to begin the third period of Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

The ugly numbers owed a lot more to a lackluster defensive effort on the part of the Flyers than anything Hart did, but it's still the third time in his last eight starts he's coughed up at least five goals. The 25-year-old has a 3.56 GAA and .883 save percentage over that stretch, while Ersson sports a 1.63 GAA and .936 save percentage in seven appearances since Christmas. It may not be long before Hart loses his grip on even a timeshare in the Philly crease.

Hart will defend the home net versus Colorado on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart three of his last four games, including his past two starts. He has a 12-8-3 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 25 appearances this season. Hart was outstanding Dec. 9, stopping 36 shots in a 5-2 win over Colorado.

Hart stopped 28 of 30 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Hart was sharp Monday, blanking St. Louis in the opening period before allowing just two goals over the final two frames en route to his third win in four starts. The 25-year-old netminder is now 12-8-3 with a .912 save percentage and 2.94 GAA on the season. Hart will likely be back between the pipes at home Thursday against the Stars.
