PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Flyers re-signed goalie Carter Hart to a three-year, $11.9 million contract.
The 22-year-old Hart was a restricted free agent, and coming off a season in which he struggled maintaining the starter’s job in his third season with the team.
Hart’s numbers plummeted in finishing with a 9-11-5 record. He allowed four or more goals 13 times and missed the final 12 games with a sprained left knee.
That was a significant drop-off from his previous season in which Hart went 24-13-3 in helping the Flyers finish fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Flyers expect that Hart will rebound this coming season.
