After being assigned to the Henderson Silver Knights on Nov. 15,  the team wasted no time getting Carter Hart out on the ice. Silver Knights fans couldn't wait to see the former star goaltender make his return.

He started tonight's game against the Calgary Wranglers, in what was his first time back in net since early 2024. Despite the long absence, he looked pretty sharp.

Through two and a half periods of play, Hart didn't have to deal with much,  only having to turn away 13 shots before the Wranglers found the back of the net with just over five minutes to play in the game. Despite the Silver Knights being on a power play, the Wranglers wound up on a two on one. A quick pass from Sam Morton to Matvei Gridin found its way past Hart glove side. 

Less than a minute later, the Wranglers once again found themselves in Silver Knights territory and after a wrist shot from Jeremie Poirier wound up along the boards, it was picked up by Dryden Hunt who passed it over to Daniil Miromanov. Minomanov worked his way up into the high slot and beat Hart glove side on a wrist shot. There were two players screening Hart, making it difficult to see, so it's hard to put this one on him.

Hart picked up the win, allowing two goals on 14 shots. He will need more time to shake off the rust, but tonight's performance was a good start.
