Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart was hurt during practice Tuesday afternoon. The team broke the news today that their starting goalie will miss two to three weeks with a right lower abdominal strain.
The 21-year-old stud has struggled a bit this season, putting up a 2.61 goals against average to go with a .905 save percentage. Luckily for the Flyers, they have a very experienced back up in Brian Elliott to fill in for Hart, although he has also struggled this season with a 3.16 goals against and a .896 save percentage.
In a corresponding move, the Flyers have called up goaltender Alex Lyon from their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. The 27-year-old has played a total of 13 games for the Flyers in his career, registering a 3.05 goals against and a .894 save percentage.
