Carter Hart

Bringing a highly refined technical approach to the crease, Carter Hart joined the Vegas organization in late 2025, debuting in December of that year. The 1998-born Canadian goaltender originally entered the league as a second-round pick in 2016, quickly establishing a reputation for a calm, disciplined butterfly style. He relies on exceptional edge work to execute seamless post-to-post pushes, keeping his shoulders square to the shooter even during chaotic lateral passes. His minimalist movement ensures he rarely takes himself out of position, forcing attackers to execute perfect shots to beat him.

Evaluators consistently praise his hockey intelligence and ability to read developing offensive threats before the puck is released. He controls the pace of the game by swallowing rebounds and executing smart puck-handling decisions on opposing dump-ins. Navigating difficult assignments requires him to maintain his crease depth while facing heavy net-front screens. By providing a stabilizing presence under pressure, he adds vital high-end experience to the goaltending rotation, ensuring the team can comfortably manage the heavy workload demanded by the defensive roster.
