Hart.As in 20-year-old goaltender Connor Hart, who has made 53 saves in winning
his first two NHL starts ¡ª which have also coincided with a coaching
change.Article continues below ...¡°He¡¯s the main reason we won the last two

Predators made Scott Gordon 2-0 as the Flyers¡¯ interim coach.Said Hart, who will
try to keep it going with the Columbus Blue Jackets in town for a Saturday
matinee: ¡°I¡¯m competing and having fun.¡±He looked particularly sharp during a
Nashville 5-on-3 advantage, with Ryan Johansen saying, ¡°We had some good looks.
The young kid in net made some good saves, made our 5-on-3 look bad.¡±Having a
homestand at the time of the coaching and goaltending change has to have helped
things get off on the right skate for both Gordon and Hart, the latter the sixth
goalie to play for the Flyers this season.He plays his third straight, but what
will happen Sunday on the back end of a back-to-back against the Rangers in New
York?¡°We don¡¯t have to make a decision as far as what Sunday is going to be,¡±

going 3-0-1.¡°It¡¯s not only me, it¡¯s the team,¡± he said. ¡°I think the team
improved a lot in front of me. It (trickles) down to me too and my result and my
numbers get better too. I think we win as a team, we lose as a team. It¡¯s tough
to break down by the pieces and say we win or lose because of one person. We
have one logo on the chest and the result goes to the whole team.¡±Lifetime
