Hart stopped 28 of 30 shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Flames.
It was a lopsided matchup on paper, and it went as expected on the ice. Hart had a better game going, but he gave up a late power-play goal to Matthew Coronato. He has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his wins this year. Hart is now 4-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and a .911 save percentage across six contests this season as the Golden Knights' primarily goalie. Vegas hosts the Penguins on Saturday.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Beaten three times
Rotowire
Hart stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Wild. Minnesota's fourth goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.
Hart endured a difficult opening period, allowing goals to Matt Boldy, Maxim Shabanov and Danila Yurov within a 5:07 span. The veteran netminder settled down afterward, keeping Minnesota off the scoreboard for the rest of his appearance, but the damage was already done, and the Wild clinched the victory with an empty-netter from Joel Eriksson Ek. This was Hart's second loss of the season, and the second time in five starts he's allowed more than two goals. The netminder is likely to be on the bench against the Predators on Tuesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he could return to the starting lineup against the Flames on Thursday.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Nabs overtime win
Rotowire
Hart allowed one goal on 27 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings.
This was Hart's best start of the season, and it had to be as the Golden Knights posted their lowest goal total of the campaign. The 28-year-old did his part, and goals by Trevor Connelly and Mitch Marner did the rest. Hart is 3-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 100 shots over his four outings this season. He'll continue to be the Golden Knights' top goalie as long as the results stay positive. Up next is a road back-to-back with stops in Minnesota on Monday and in Nashville on Tuesday, which will likely lead to Hart and Adin Hill splitting the next two games.

Hart allowed four goals on 20 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Set to start in Game 6
Rotowire
Hart will start at home against Carolina in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Sunday, per Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
Coaches typically don't reveal their starters during the playoffs, but John Tortorella confirmed his while defending Hart's recent performance. Although Hart has been strong in the 2026 playoffs with a 14-7 record, 2.59 GAA and .907 save percentage in 21 outings, he's surrendered four goals in each game of the finals. However, Tortorella feels the issue is that the team in front of Hart needs to play better. The Golden Knights are down 3-2 in the series, so they need to win to force a Game 7 on Wednesday.
