Hart made 16 saves in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old netminder barely had a chance to get settled into the game before New York had put two pucks behind him, with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider striking within the first two minutes of the game. Hart didn't get rattled and kept his team in it, but Igor Shesterkin shut down Philly's attempts to mount a comeback. Hart has lost two straight starts, but he has yet to put together a winning or losing streak of longer than two games this season, leaving him with a 6-5-0 record to go with a solid 2.53 GAA and .911 save percentage.

Hart made 28 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Vegas scored all three of its goals in a wild second period that erased a 2-0 Philly lead, but Hart shut the door in the other frames to pick up his sixth win of the season. The 25-year-old is enjoying playing behind a John Tortorella defense -- he's given up more than three goals only once in 10 appearances, and his 2.40 GAA and .919 save percentage would be career-best marks if he can maintain them.

Hart made 31 saves in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old netminder had missed five straight games with a mid-body injury and a bout of food poisoning, but Hart looked sharp in his return and saw his shutout bid snapped midway through the second period on a one-timer by Stefan Noesen from the top of the faceoff circle. The Flyers also made life a bit easier for their goalie by blocking an impressive 30 shots on the night. Hart is thriving in coach John Tortorella's tight system, and he sports a 2.34 GAA and .921 save percentage to go with his 5-3-0 record through nine appearances.
