Vegas Sticks With Carter Hart for Game 6 as Goalie Shrugs Off 5 Straight 4-Goal Games

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 14

Summary

  • Game 6 will again start with Carter Hart in net for Vegas, even after he became the first goalie to allow at least four goals in each of the first four Stanley Cup Final games and repeated it in Game 5.
  • Hart said Carolina’s "No means no" chants were "just noise," dismissing taunts tied to the 2018 World Juniors sexual-assault case in which he and four other players were later acquitted.
  • Vegas signed Hart midseason after his previous stint with Philadelphia, and he has played every postseason game despite the Golden Knights facing elimination against Carolina.
  • Carolina’s own crease has also been volatile, but the Hurricanes improved after switching from Frederik Andersen to Brandon Bussi, who allowed three goals in Game 4 and two in Game 5.
