It’s been one rough start after another for Carter Hart as of late. All of the Philadelphia Flyers fans were hoping that he would be able to break that cycle and regain the composure of a starting goaltender. That was not the case on this night. The Flyers did jump out to an early lead, but the New York Islanders answered quickly and didn’t look back. Before the end of the game, Hart was pulled from the ice and Brian Elliott was reintroduced.
There was a brief moment when Philadelphia Flyers fans were able to rejoice. That was when Jakub Voracek was able to score the first goal of the game against Semyon Varlamov.
