Stone Nets OT Winner in Philly as Golden Knights Start Schmid Over Hart

Coach Bruce Cassidy framed the choice as part of a planned rotation, slotting Carter Hart to start Saturday in Columbus.

Overview

  • Vegas beat the Flyers 3-2 in overtime on Mark Stone’s second goal of the night off a Jack Eichel setup.
  • Akira Schmid made 17 saves in the start and the Golden Knights extended their point streak to six games at 5-0-1.
  • Cassidy said the road-trip plan was for Schmid and Hart to split the remaining starts, with Hart earmarked for Columbus.
  • Hart did not address reporters, took only warmups, and received no tribute video in his first game back in Philadelphia.
  • The win pushed Vegas to 3-0-1 on the trip with seven of eight points collected heading into Saturday’s finale.
