Hart had a very strong finish to the regular season and is also getting the trust for the playoff opener. In April, Hart has won all six starts, registering a 1.66 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage. Overall, the 27-year-old finished with an 11-3-3 regular-season record. He didn&#8217;t pick up any shutouts but produced a solid 2.71 goals-against average with a .891 save percentage. Hart and the Golden Knights are heavy favorites in the opening round, but there may be some hiccups against a Utah team that is tied for the third-best offensive record this month, averaging 4.13 goals per game.<span class=\"newsByline\">&#8212;<i><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/meiejames\">Taavi Pailk<\/a><\/i><\/span><br \/><span class=\"newsSource\">Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DannyWebster21\/status\/2045921992558473538\">Danny Webster<\/a><\/span>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\">\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/player-news\/carter-hart-in-vegas-crease-for-playoff-opener\/1847559\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carter Hart in Vegas Crease for Playoff Opener Share: Link copied to clipboard!
