Flyers goaltenders primed to shine in NHL playoffs

Ron Hextall’s fingerprints are still all over the Philadelphia Flyers. Look no further than the position that Hextall used to play when he dressed in orange and black. One season after the anomaly and horror of eight goaltenders being exhausted in 2018-2019, the Flyers solidified at the position. From Carter Hart to Alex Lyon, the fanbase in Philadelphia can breathe when they think about the goaltender position.

For a brief time in the 2019-2020 season, the Philadelphia Flyers were without Carter Hart. Only three games this season included Alex Lyon. There was an allergic reaction of “no, not again” when Hart was injured.
