Goalie Start
Hart will start Monday vs. the Kraken.
Hart allowed four goals on 39 shots in the Flyers' shootout loss to the Canucks on Friday. The Flyers made a late third period push to send it to OT but couldn't complete the job in the shootout. Hart was busy in his season debut but should see less rubber tonight vs. a Kraken team that is averaging just 25.7 shots per game (29th) so far.
Stone is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Goalie Start
Hill will start the Sharks season opener on Saturday.
Goalie Start
Hart will start the Flyers season opener on Friday.
Hart struggled in 2021, going 9-11-5 with a 3.67 GAA and .877 SV%. Still, Hart is just 23-years-old and the future of the Flyers' crease. In the two previous seasons, Hart combined for a .915 SV%, which is more what you should expect from him this season. His first start will come against a Canucks team that lost 3-2 in a shootout in Edmonton on Wednesday.
Marner is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play Wednesday vs. Montreal.
Marner (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Marner left Tuesday’s practice early following a collision with Wayne Simmonds, but was back on the ice this morning and will be a game-time decision vs. the Canadiens.
Dorofeyev is expected to make his NHL debut on Tuesday.
Dorofeyev was a third-round pick of the Golden Knights in 2019 and is set to make his NHL debut vs. the Kraken. Vegas will likely be without Mattias Janmark, Will Carrier, Nicolas Roy and Brett Howden, which opened the door for the 20-year-old winger. Dorofeyev had nine goals and four assists (13 points) in 24 AHL games last year.
Howden (undisclosed) will miss the Golden Knights season opener.
Howden will not play Tuesday vs. the Kraken and the Golden Knights have not provided much clarity on his status. Consider Howden day-to-day until Vegas releases a more definitive timetable.
The Golden Knights have signed Daniil Chayka to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Golden Knights have re-signed Dylan Coghlan to a two-year contract.
The Flyers signed Carter Hart to a three-year contract extension worth $11.937 million ($3.979M AAV).
The Sharks have re-signed Adin Hill to a two-year contract.
The Blues have re-signed Ivan Barbashev to a two-year, $4.5 million contract.
The Blues have signed Brandon Saad to a five-year contract worth $22.5 million ($4.5M AAV).
The Sharks have signed Jaycob Megna to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Predators have signed Jeremy Davies to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Davies had nine assists in nine AHL games before being promoted to the Predators in 2021. He picked up just one assist in his first 16 career NHL games and should be a fringe NHL blueliner for the Predators in 2021-22.
The Sabres have acquired Robert Hagg, the No.13 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and a 2023 second-round draft pick from the Flyers for Rasmus Ristolainen.
Hagg's role with the Flyers has diminished in recent years but he remains a steady blueliner that should have no problem landing a top-4 spot with the Sabres. Hagg is a big, physical defenseman with solid puck-moving abilities, who could be a potential D-partner for Rasmus Dahlin.
The Golden Knights have acquired Brett Howden from the Rangers for Nick DeSimone and a '22 4th round pick.
Howden signed a one-year, $885K contract in early July but was sent to Vegas on Saturday and will likely be replaced by Barclay Goodrow, who is a pending UFA but was acquired from the Lightning on the same day. Howden has seen his playing time and offensive numbers drop since his rookie season, finishing 2021-22 with seven points (1G / 6A) in 42 games.
