Carter Hart is expected to make his debut for the Vegas Golden Knights against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday, sources confirmed a report from ESPN NHL analyst Kevin Weekes.
Hart - who last appeared in an NHL game two years ago with the Philadelphia Flyers - was recalled from the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights on Sunday in anticipation of his league-mandated suspension being lifted on Monday.
Hart, along with Dillon Dubé, Michael McLeod, Cale Foote and Alex Formenton, was put on an indefinite leave of absence by the NHL in January 2024 following sexual assault allegations after the 2018 Hockey Canada Foundation Gala.
The 27-year-old was never arrested but was charged with one count of sexual assault on Jan. 30, 2024. The trial began on April 22, 2025, in London, Ont. All five
