The Vegas Golden Knights are dealing with significant goalie injuries as Carter Hart is sidelined. Coach Bruce Cassidy announced Hart is week to week, prompting changes in the team's lineup.

Injury Details

Carter Hart suffered his injury during the first period of a recent game against Columbus. The Golden Knights won that match 5-3, but Hart's injury has raised concerns for the team.

New Goalie Takes Charge

With Hart out, Akira Schmid will start in goal against the St. Louis Blues. Schmid has played well this season, with a goals-against average of 2.51 and a save percentage of .895.

Backup Goalie Called Up

The Golden Knights have also called up Carl Lindbom from their AHL team in Henderson, Nevada. Lindbom has played seven games for the Golden Knights this season, with a record of 1-4-2 and a goals-against average of 3.14.

Team's Goalkeeping Situation

Currently, the Golden Knights are missing their top two goalies. Adin Hill, who has been practicing, is also recovering from a lower-body injury. Hill played only five games this season before his injury.

Hart's Recent Performance

Before his injury, Hart had a record of 5-3-3, with a goals-against average of 3.28. He joined the Golden Knights in October and made his first appearance in December after nearly two years away from the NHL. Hart was one of five players acquitted of sexual assault in July 2023 and signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the team.
