Who Start in net for the Flyers?
According to John Tortorella this morning, Carter Hart will get the start between the pipes. Hart is 11-12-6 on the season with a 2.97 GAA and a .908 sv%.
In his last 10 games, (started 9), Hart is 3-5-2 with a .901 sv% and a 3.26 GAA. The numbers have obviously fallen back down to earth since the first few weeks of the season but that’s to be expected. Interested to see how he fairs against Washington tonight.

They’re winners in 5 of their last 6 games so it comes with zero shock the line combos and defensive pairings will stay the same.

What to Watch
Travis Konecny: It’s no secret TK is on absolute fire right now. He’s currently shooting at a 18.9% rate on the season so far so I say ride the hot hand while you can.
Morgan Frost: Since December 1st, Frost is 2nd on the team in scoring with 5G-9A-14P in 18 games. He’s finally putting it together in the NHL and has been one of the bright spots for this team.
Noah Cates: This kid had his best game as a pro against the Sabres on Monday. He was just simply fantastic everywhere on the ice and I’m excited to see how he plays tonight.
The Flyers have scored 4 or more goals in all of their last 6 games except one. I have a feeling they keep that trend rolling tonight.
Prediction: 5-3 Flyers
