Flyers Starting Goaltender Revealed and It Makes Franchise History!

The Philadelphia Flyers are set to face-off against the Detroit Red Wings tonight at 6pm EST.

Torts has released the starting lineup, and Carter Hart is listed as the starting goaltender, which is more important than we may think.

This start will give Hart sole possession of 5th place in the most games played by a goaltender in Flyers history.

At the moment, Hart is tied with Pete Peeters, with 179 games played. After tonight, Hart will, of course, have 180 games played and sole possession of 5th place.



As the tweet mentions, Hart is just 24 years old. After tonight, he will be chasing Doug Favell (215), Steve Mason (231), Bernie Parent (486), and Ron Hextall (489).

Hart has a solid chance to surpass Favell and Mason, but he will need to stick with the Flyers for a while if he wants to catch up to Parent and Hextall.
