Hart has renewed upside as Vegas’ starting goalie following a strong finish to his first season with the Golden Knights; from April 2 to the conclusion of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Hart led the NHL in wins (20) and saves (711) while ranking fifth in save percentage (.912) and sixth in goals-against average (2.38) among goalies to play at least 10 games over that span. Hart is a fringe top 15 goalie option even in a timeshare with Adin Hill, who has started at least 25 games in each of his four seasons with Vegas.
