Schmid will make an appearance in the Devils crease on Friday as New Jersey travels to St. Louis for the tail-end of a back-to-back. It's the first start for Schmid since October 25th against the Capitals when he was pulled after surrendering three goals on just eight shots. Starter Vitek Vanecek has started and won all three games since, although he's registered just an .884 SV% over that stretch, so the door for an increased workload may still be open for Schmid if he can regain the form he flashed last season. Schmid has struggled to the tune of an .863 SV% and a 4.07 GAA across his first three starts of the season.

Hart left the Flyers' Wednesday night game against the Buffalo Sabres midway through the first period with an apparent mid-body injury and did not return. Outside of being ruled out for Friday's game, the severity of his injury hasn't been confirmed yet but any extended absence will be a huge loss for the Flyers as he has been off to a terrific start, posting a 2.52 GAA and .913 SV% through eight games (4-3-1). Samuel Ersson will start on Friday in his absence.

Hart's status hasn't been confirmed yet but any extended absence will be a huge loss for the Flyers as he has been off to a terrific start, posting a 2.52 GAA and .913 SV% through eight games (4-3-1). Look for Samuel Ersson and Felix Sandstrom to take on Hart's goaltending duties in his absence.

Hutton has been a healthy scratch for Vegas' previous five games but will draw back into the lineup Thursday vs. Winnipeg to replace Nicolas Hague (lower body). The 30-year-old defenseman has an assist, eight SOG, five PIMs, and a +3 plus/minus through five games played in 2023-24.

Hart will start for the Flyers on Wednesday after allowing three goals on 33 shots in their most recent contest, a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Hart has been splendid between the pipes early this season, recording a 2.30 GAA and .921 SV% through seven games (4-3-0) and is one of the main reasons why last season's 26th-ranked Flyers are off to a respectable 4-4-1 start this season. The Flyers are slight -106 home favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team that ranks eighth in the Atlantic Division.

Hill suffered his first loss of the season on Friday, a 4-3 overtime loss at the hands of the Chicago Blackhawks, and will look to rebound on Monday night against the Montreal Canadiens. In five games this season (4-0-1), Hill is sporting a respectable 2.16 GAA and .915 SV%. Hill and the Golden Knights are -221 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that has won four of their last five games.

Korczak will return to the lineup and replace Brayden Pachal after being a healthy scratch on Saturday. Korczak has four points (1G / 3A), four blocks, and 10 hits in five games this season.

Hart served as the Flyers' backup goalie on Saturday as he watched Samuel Ersson struggle, allowing seven goals on 25 shots in a 7-4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. The Flyers will look to get back on track as Hart will return to the crease and look to continue his outstanding 2.18 GAA and .924 SV% start to the season (4-2-0). That said, the Flyers are +169 home underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes team that has won two straight, outscoring their opposition 6-2 in those games.

Coghlan served as the Hurrincanes' extra defenseman during their back-to-back on Thursday and Friday. With the Hurricanes off until Monday, Coghlan goes back to Springfield, where he could play on Saturday and Sunday.
