Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Set for long-term absence
General manager Kelly McCrimmon said Monday that Hart (lower body) isn't scheduled to be available until after the 2026 Winter Olympics, SinBin.vegas reports.
Hart was placed on injured reserve Thursday due to the lower-body injury he sustained against Columbus on Jan. 8. Adin Hill and Akira Schmid will handle the goaltending duties while Hart is on the shelf. The 27-year-old Hart will seemingly look to be ready when the Golden Knights resume play in Los Angeles on Feb. 25 after the Olympic break.

Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Set to start at home
Hill will tend the home twine against the Flyers on Monday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
Hill's first start after returning from a lower-body injury didn't go too well, as he conceded five goals on 28 shots against Toronto on Thursday, but the Golden Knights provided him with enough offensive support en route to a 6-5 overtime win. The 29-year-old has a favorable matchup Monday against a Flyers club that has lost six straight games (0-5-1).

Samuel Ersson G | PHI
Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Expected to start Monday
Ersson is set to start on the road against Vegas on Monday.
Ersson is struggling, going 0-2-0 while allowing eight goals on 47 shots (.830 save percentage) across his past three appearances. This has also been a rough campaign for him overall -- he's 6-8-4 with a 3.43 GAA and an .855 save percentage in 19 outings. Vegas has won its past seven games to improve to 24-11-12 on the season, and the Golden Knights have scored at least six goals in three of their past four games, so it doesn't look like things are going to get any easier for Ersson on Monday.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Set to start Monday
Knight is expected to start at home against Winnipeg on Monday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.

Knight is 13-13-6 with a 2.61 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 32 outings in 2025-26.
