Hart (suspension) was assigned to AHL Henderson on Saturday for a conditioning loan.

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.

Hill (lower body) was put on injured reserve Saturday, JR Pothier and Ken Boehlke of SinBin.vegas reports.

Hill has been out of action since Oct. 20 after he was injured early in a 4-1 win over Carolina. Hill could return at any time. He is 1-0-2 with a 2.73 GAA and an .888 save percentage across five appearances this season.

Oettinger will look for his third straight win. He is 7-3-2 with a 2.89 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 12 appearances this season. The Flyers could be a tired team after they defeated St. Louis 6-5 in a shootout Friday.
