Ron Hextall opens up about the Flyers' goalie of the future.
wasn’t far from the NHL when he was leading the team although thinks he should have been put in a scenario where he was a No. 1 goaltender.
Hart, long labelled as the Flyers’ goalie of the future, has lived up to expectations since being called up from the American Hockey League in December by posting a 15-11-1 record, 2.72 goals-against average and .921 save percentage. Philadelphia called up Hart sooner than they had hoped but they were left with little choice after a slew of injuries to fellow netminders Brian Elliott, Michal Neuvirth and Anthony Stolarz.
Hextall still likes how the Flyers are built and pointed to the 2016-17 Tampa Bay Lightning as an example of how good teams can have bad seasons.
