PHILADELPHIA — Flyers goalie Carter Hart left Wednesday night’s game against the Buffalo Sabres midway through the first period with what the club called a “mid-body injury.”
Hart, who was 4-3 with a 2.30 goals against average in seven previous starts as Philadelphia’s primary goaltender, appeared to be in discomfort after a scramble in front of the net seven minutes into a tie game with Sabres forward Kyle Okposo.
More than two minutes later, after Brandon Biro scored Buffalo’s second goal on a sliding puck in the crease, a member of the Flyers’ training staff came out and escorted Hart off the ice under his own power.
Sam Ersson replaced Hart in net for the Flyers.
