LAS VEGAS (AP) — Golden Knights goalie Carter Hart was activated off injured reserve and started Vegas' game Thursday night against the Calgary Flames.

Hart has been out since injuring his left leg Jan. 8 against Columbus.

John Tortorella, in his second game since replacing Bruce Cassidy, coached Hart in Philadelphia in from 2022-24.

“Carter and I have a really good relationship,” Tortorella said. "He's becoming a really good pro. I love the kid. We've had a lot of conversations. I think he's handled himself so well through some pretty hard times the past couple of years.

“I think he's a good kid. People have made judgments on him. People are still making judgments on him.”

Vegas signed Hart in October and he made his first appearance Dec. 2 in a 4-3 victory over Chicago. It was his first NHL appearance in nearly two years.

Hart was one of five 2018 Canada world junior hockey players acquitted of sexual assault in July. He was the first of those five agree to an NHL contract. The league ruled those players were eligible to sign deals beginning Oct. 15 and to play starting Dec. 1. Hart signed a two-year, $4 million contract.

With Hart back in the lineup, the Golden Knights have three goalies. Adin Hill has been operating as the starter, and Akira Schmid also is on the roster.

“I have no plan on how to attack it,” Tortorella said. “I have a plan on who the goalie's going to be the next game.”
