Goalie Start
Hart will start Thursday in Boston.
Hart has been activated from the COVID-19 protocol list and is expected to make his first start since December 16th. Hart has been outstanding in his last four starts, going 2-1-1 while stopping 129 of the 137 shots (.942 SV%) that he's faced. Tonight he will face a Ducks team that could be without Ryan Getzlaf and Trevor Zegras, who are both in COVID-19 protocol.
Hart, Derick Brassard and Scott Laughton join Sean Couturier, who was added to the protocol list on Sunday. Despite losing four regulars to start the week, they are expected to get Kevin Hayes and Morgan Frost back in time for Wednesday's game.
With Hart out, Martin Jones will get the start for the Flyers and a backup goalie will be recalled from the AHL.
