Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart is taking an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons. Flyers general manager Daniel Briere announced the news on Tuesday following one of Hart's poorest performances of the season. The 25-year-old allowed five goals on 15 shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to Colorado. It's been an up-and-down campaign for Hart, who's sporting a 12-9-3 record. He has allowed 2.80 goals while registering a .906 save percentage and one shutout. Samuel Ersson will now be the main man between the pipes for Philly moving forward, with Cal Petersen getting a call-up from the minors to work as Ersson's backup.
Carter Hart Returns To Philadelphia's Crease On Friday
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart (illness) will get back to work against the Red Wings on Friday. The 25-year-old has been battling an illness lately and hasn't seen any game action since Dec. 9. Hart beat Colorado in his last outing to pick up a third consecutive win. He's had a solid year with a 9-6-1 record while allowing 2.42 goals with a .919 save percentage. Meeting Detroit has always suited Hart, as he has gone 7-3-0 in the matchup in his career. Hart should have a good chance of improving the record on Friday, as the Red Wings have been slumping lately, winning just once in their past eight outings.
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart (back) made his return to the crease and stopped 31-of-32 shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against the Hurricanes. Hart was initially sidelined with a back injury and later dealt with an illness, forcing the 25-year-old to miss a five game stretch in the first half of November. Hurricanes forward Stefan Noesen scored at even-strength at the midway point of the second period, resulting in the only goal surrendered by the Flyers netminder. Hart has posted a record of 5-3-0 to go along with an excellent 2.34 goals against average and .921 save percentage through nine appearances.

The 25-year-old was expected to return from a back injury on Thursday but remained sidelined, while he last appeared on Nov. 1 when he surrendered two goals on five shots in 10 minutes of work in an eventual 5-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Otherwise, it's been a solid start to the season for the former first-round pick, who has posted a 2.52 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage across eight games, going 4-3-0 in that time. Samuel Ersson has seen the bulk of playing time in Hart's absence but has struggled to a 3.43 GAA and .855 save percentage across six contests.
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart will be back in goal for Friday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks, as per head coach John Tortorella. The 25-year-old has been dealing with a back issue and has not appeared since allowing two goals on five shots in just 10 minutes of work in a Nov. 1 contest against the Buffalo Sabres, an eventual 5-2 defeat. Hart has otherwise enjoyed a solid season, working to a 2.52 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage across eight starts, going 4-3-0 in the process. Samuel Ersson has seen the bulk of playing time in Hart's absence while the club promoted Cal Petersen from the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
Philadelphia Flyers goalie Carter Hart will miss Friday's game against the Buffalo Sabres with a middle-body injury suffered Wednesday. He has been deemed day-to-day for now, but the severity of his injury hasn't been confirmed. If he is to miss some time, it would be a huge blow for the Flyers and Hart's fantasy owners, as he has been excellent this season. The 25-year-old is 4-3-0 with a 2.52 GAA (1.5 GSAA) and .913 SV%. Samuel Ersson will get the start Friday and will likely split time with Cal Petersen if Hart's injury is serious.
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart had to settle for only 10 minutes of action in Wednesday's matchup against the Sabres, exiting the game with a mid-body injury. He had a rough start to the game by giving up two goals on five shots, and the injury added to his misery. Sam Ersson didn't have much joy either as Hart's replacement, and Philadelphia ended up as a 5-2 loser of the contest. Hart has impressed early in the season and carried a 4-3-0 record with a 2.30 goals-against average ahead of Wednesday's action. It's been the opposite with Ersson, who has given up nearly five goals (4.91) and sits on a horrible .763 save percentage. The Flyers look to be in massive trouble if Hart is out long-term. Felix Sandstrom is the other alternative between the pipes for Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart will not be between the pipes for Saturday's road contest versus the Dallas Stars. The netminder is healthy, as per head coach Jon Tortorella, as Saturday's night off is simply to give his netminder a rest after he has started each of the Flyers' first four games this season. Still just 25 years old, Hart has worked to an impressive 2.01 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage across those four starts on the heels of a 2.94 GAA and .907 Sv% on a very poor Flyers team last season. Samuel Ersson will make his season debut Saturday after posting a 3.07 GAA and .899 Sv% across 12 games in his NHL debut a season ago.

The 24-year-old has just registered his second shutout of the season and was set to head out for a fifth consecutive win, but the team has announced that Hart is day-to-day with a lower-body issue. Felix Sandstrom will start instead, and Sam Ersson has been summoned from the minors on an emergency basis to work as the backup.

It appears that he is on track to guard the crease Thursday against Arizona. Hart has been unavailable for the past three games after he landed in the concussion protocol. Samuel Ersson produced an impressive three-game winning streak in his absence, but it looks like the Swedish netminder has to make way for Hart Thursday.

Head coach John Tortorella has said that he expects Hart to play the final two games of the team's upcoming three-game trip on the West Coast. Samuel Ersson will fill in for Hart on Thursday against San Jose.
