EDGE Analysis

Hart entered early in the third period after Samuel Ersson (undisclosed) departed with an injury. Hart kept Vancouver off the board, sealing the Flyers' 4-1 victory. Overall, Hart's 9-6-2 with a .914 save percentage and 2.57 GAA on the season. He figures to be back between the pipes Friday in Seattle.

Hart stopped 31 shots in regulation and overtime as well as one of three shootout attempts in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

While Detroit scored five times on 13 shots in the first period, Hart was able to regain his focus and give the Flyers a chance to not only mount a comeback but take the lead with about five minutes left in the third. However, Dylan Larkin scored from a bad angle when the netminder left a gap at the post to send the game into OT. Hart was beaten by Lucas Raymond and Patrick Kane in the shootout to take the loss. The Philadelphia netminder had been in and out of the lineup due to an illness, so he may not have been completely recovered. He still hasn't taken a regulation loss in nearly a month, going 3-0-2 over his last five starts with a 2.73 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Hart (illness) is expected to start on the road against Detroit on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hart hasn't been in net since Dec. 9 because of the illness, but he did serve as the backup goaltender in Philadelphia's 4-2 loss to Nashville on Thursday. He has a 9-6-1 record, 2.42 GAA and .919 save percentage in 17 contests this year. The Red Wings rank fifth offensively this year with 3.50 goals per game, but Detroit has averaged just 2.29 goals per contest over its last seven contests, so this might not be as difficult a match for Hart as it appears at first glance.

Hart (illness) will serve as the backup goaltender in Thursday's home contest versus Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Hart hasn't played in net since Dec. 9, but at least he's healthy enough to be in the lineup. Samuel Ersson is set to start Thursday.

Hart (illness) won't play in Tuesday's road game against New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Hart is still battling an illness, so he won't be able to make his scheduled start. As a result, Samuel Ersson will face the Devils and Cal Petersen, who was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, will be the backup. Consider Hart day-to-day for now.

Hart will get the starting nod on the road versus New Jersey on Tuesday, Dylan H. Robillard of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart was undefeated in regulation in four straight contests, posting a 3-0-1 record and a 1.98 GAA, prior to coming down with an illness that sidelined him for the last three games. If the 25-year-old netminder continues to perform at this level, he should return to seeing the majority of the starts ahead of Samuel Ersson -- though Ersson is undefeated in regulation in his last seven outings.

Hart (illness) will serve as backup to Samuel Ersson for Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

The Flyers didn't call up Felix Sandstrom again, so Hart appears set to dress as the backup goalie for Saturday's game. Hart should be able to resume his starting role Tuesday in New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Coach John Tortorella has already determined that Hart will not start, but he could still be on the bench if he feels well enough to suit up in the contest. Hart partook in the morning skate, so he is close to a return to action. It will be the second straight start for Ersson after Hart was unable to go Thursday versus Washington. Hart is 9-6-1 with a 2.42 GAA and .919 save percentage for the surging Flyers.
