After being suspended by the NHL until Dec. 1 due to his connection with the alleged Hockey Canada scandal, goalie Carter Hart is finally eligible to return to the league. However, he hasn't played in an NHL game since Jan. 20, 2024, and while his stats with the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL) don't look great, he's faced some tough shots.

Through three starts, he posted a 1-2 record and an abysmal .839 save percentage.

But, if you look art the goals he's allowed in his last two starts, against the Bakersfield Condors and Ontario Reign, he hasn't really allowed any bad ones.

Here's two examples from the Silver Knights 4-3 loss to the Reign on Nov. 28:

1. Tip in at the net

2. Point shot beats Hart top corner with a defenceman in his way

Here's two examples from the Silver Knights 6-4 loss to the Bakersfield Condors on Nov. 29:

1. A top corner shot from the slot beats a lunging Carter Hart

2. A blocked shot leaves Hart with a tough view as a Condors forward puts it top shelf

With Adin Hill on injured reserve, Hart is expected to compete with Akira Schmid for starts, and his first chance to make a positive impression with his new team will come on Dec. 2, where he's set to make his season debut against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Do you think the Golden Knights are calling up Hart too early, or is it the right time?
