Carter Hart will make his first NHL start in nearly two years Tuesday when the Golden Knights host the Chicago Blackhawks at T-Mobile Arena.

Hart was first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, and coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed he would get the nod.

“He needs to play,” Cassidy said. “He went down to Henderson, got some games in. He’s been practicing with us. So, let’s get him in there.”

This will be Hart’s first start since Jan. 20, 2024, when he was a member of the Philadelphia Flyers. He allowed five goals on 15 shots in a 7-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Hart was charged days later with sexual assault, along with four other players, in an incident dating to 2018 involving Canada’s World Junior championship team .
