Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Falls short in Game 4
Hart stopped 19 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks in Game 4.
Hart had allowed a total of five goals on 94 shots over the first three games of this series, so this was a bit of a letdown performance. The 27-year-old hadn't posted a save percentage lower than .926 over his previous four contests. He's now at a 6-4 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 10 playoff games. This series has become a best-of-three to wrap it up, making Tuesday's Game 5 in Vegas a critical one to win.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Looking to take 3-1 series lead
Hart will defend the road crease in Game 4 against the Ducks on Sunday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Hart has been phenomenal in the second round against an Anaheim club that sits fourth in the NHL in postseason scoring with 3.56 goals per game. The 27-year-old has allowed two or fewer goals in each of the first three games in this series. Overall in the 2026 playoffs, Hart is 6-3 with a 2.39 GAA and a .912 save percentage through nine outings. The netminder and his team can take a 3-1 series lead with a win Sunday, but Vegas will be without its captain in Game 4, as Mark Stone is contending with a lower-body injury.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Bounces back in Game 3
Hart stopped 32 of 34 shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Ducks in Game 3.
Hart didn't let his loss in Game 2 weigh him down, bouncing back with a win to put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1 in the series. The 27-year-old has allowed two or fewer goals in four straight games after starting the postseason at a shakier level of play. There's virtually no doubt Hart will be between the pipes again for Game 4 on Sunday.

Hart saw his four-game winning streak snapped in a 3-1 loss to the Ducks in Game 2. He stopped 25 of 27 shots in that game and has allowed only four goals on 84 shots over his last three outings. The 27-year-old will look to bounce back in a pivotal contest Friday.

Hart stopped 25 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks in Game 2. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Hart put in a strong performance but couldn't get any help from his teammates. It still took the Ducks a while to wear down the Golden Knights' defense, so this is shaping up to be a fairly close and competitive series. Hart's winning streak ended at four games, but he's still 5-3 this postseason with a 2.44 GAA and a .912 save percentage over eight games. Expect the 27-year-old to get the nod again in Game 3 on Friday in Anaheim.

Hart stopped 33 of 34 shots in Game 1 on Monday. He's won four straight outings while looking particularly steady in the last two, when he stopped 55 of 57 shots. The Ducks had more shots in Monday's loss than the Mammoth did in five of six Round 1 contests against the Golden Knights, so expect Hart to stay busy in Wednesday's matchup.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Makes 33 saves in Game 1 win
Hart stopped 33 of 34 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Hart looked en route to a Game 1 shutout, but Mikael Granlund had other plans when he scored with a snap shot midway through the third period. Still, that was the only time Hart was beaten, and the Golden Knights provided enough offense to allow the 27-year-old to secure the win. In seven playoff appearances so far, Hart has gone 5-2-0 with a 2.49 GAA and a .905 save percentage on 200 shots faced.

Hart was the first goalie to leave the ice ahead of Game 1 versus the Ducks at home Monday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Hart played in all six games against the Mammoth, going 4-2 with a 2.72 GAA and .892 save percentage. At this point, the 27-year-old netminder figures to be a lock to keep the crease for the Golden Knights, especially considering Adin Hill hasn't played since April 9 versus the Kraken.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Eliminates Mammoth
Hart stopped 22 of 23 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Mammoth in Game 6.
Hart's performance had been trending the wrong way, but he stepped up with his best outing of the series in this elimination game. With the effort, the Golden Knights are through to the second round, where they'll face the Ducks. Hart is 4-2 with a 2.72 GAA and an .892 save percentage over six games in the postseason, but it doesn't look like head coach John Tortorella has any intention of switching to Adin Hill until Hart shows more significant struggles.

Hart will protect the road goal versus the Mammoth on Friday in Game 6, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
As expected, Hart will start again. He's allowed four goals in each of the last three games, but the Golden Knights' offense has stepped up to put the team on the verge of advancing to the second round. Hart should continue to see the starts for Vegas as long as he can keep piling up wins.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Claims win in double overtime
Hart stopped 34 of 38 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 5.
Hart kept the Golden Knights in it throughout the game, as they had to come back from deficits in each period of regulation time. The Mammoth seemed to run a bit low on energy as overtime progressed, and Brett Howden's shorthanded tally won it for Vegas. Hart has now allowed four goals in each of the last three games, but he's won two of them to help the Golden Knights record a 3-2 series lead. Expect Hart to get the nod again in Game 6 on Friday in Utah.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Leaves ice first Wednesday
Hart will patrol the home net in Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against Utah, SinBin.vegas reports.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Earns OT win in Game 4
Hart stopped 27 of 31 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 4 of their first-round series.
Hart rebounded after back-to-back losses in Games 2 and 3 of the series, including a Game 3 defeat that saw him allow four goals on 12 shots faced. Even though Hart earned the win Monday, the Golden Knights had to erase a third-period deficit before closing things out in overtime, so this was far from a dominant performance from Vegas. Plus, this was Hart's third straight game with a save percentage below the .900 mark. He'll look to earn consecutive wins for the first time in the current playoff run in Game 5 at home Wednesday.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Ready to play in Game 4

After turning aside 31 of 33 shots (.939 save percentage) during a 4-2 win in Game 1, Hart is coming off back-to-back losses in which he's allowed a total of seven goals on 41 shots. However, he'll remain in the crease Monday as the Golden Knights attempt to even the series.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Bad outing in Game 3 loss
Hart gave up four goals on 12 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mammoth in Game 3.
Hart has trended down as this first-round series has progressed. He was unable to find success against an opportunistic attack from the Mammoth in this game, which saw them score all four goals over the first 30 minutes. He's now allowed nine goals on 74 shots over three playoff contests. It's not yet clear if head coach John Tortorella will stick with Hart for Monday's Game 4, but it would be tough for the 27-year-old netminder to have a worse performance than he did Friday.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Starting Game 3
Hart was the first goalie off the ice during Friday's morning skate, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the Game 3 start on the road against Utah.
Hart will draw a third consecutive start to begin the Golden Knights' first-round series. He's been relatively solid to begin the playoffs, posting a 2.56 GAA and .919 save percentage over his first two starts, but he took the regulation loss in Game 2 on Tuesday after winning Game 1. Tuesday's Game 2 loss snapped Hart's seven-game winning streak that dated back to the start of April, and he'll attempt to return to the win column Friday.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Loses to Mammoth in Game 2
Hart stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mammoth in Game 2.
Hart didn't let the game get out of hand, but a goal in each period from the Mammoth gave him his first loss since he returned from a lower-body injury. Through the first two games of the season, Hart has allowed five goals on 62 shots, and he's faced a bit more traffic than Karel Vejmelka as the Mammoth have been able to put some pressure on the Golden Knights' defense. One loss probably won't cause head coach John Tortorella to turn away from Hart in goal, so expect the 27-year-old to get the nod in Game 3 on Friday in Utah.

Utah was unable to hold 1-0 and 2-1 leads in Game 1, and Hart held it together before his teammates rallied for the comeback win in the third period.
