Carter Hart Looks To Extend Philly's Shutout Streak
4 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart will take on the Penguins Tuesday night with the task of extending the team's shutout streak. Philly shut out Buffalo in back-to-back games at the weekend and have now gone 136:33 without allowing a single goal. Hart improved his record with Sunday's 3-0 win to 6-3-3. He owns a 3.35 goals-against average for the year with a .899 save percentage. Hart has won both of his starts against Pittsburgh this season and the Penguins will be without Sidney Crosby (COVID protocol), so the 22-year-old is in a nice spot to improve the shutout streak and his record. Philadelphia's chances also get a boost by the return of Travis Konecny, who was the team's final player on the COVID-19 list. He crushed the Penguins at the start of the season with five points in two games.
