Flyers' Carter Hart: Gets hook against Avs
Rotowire
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.
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 is up to 11-8-3 with a 2.70 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 24 contests. With Samuel Ersson proving himself a steady backup, Hart's grip on the No. 1 job shouldn't be considered all that firm. Expect Ersson to get the nod Saturday against the Jets.

Flyers' Carter Hart: Tough shootout loss Friday
Rotowire
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.
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.
