April 2, 2018 - Western Hockey League (WHL) News Release


Calgary, Alta. - The Western Hockey League announced today that Everett Silvertips goaltender Cart Hart has been named WHL Goaltender of the Week and league nominee for the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending April 1, 2018.

Hart, a prospect of the Philadelphia Flyers, was selected by the NHL club in the second round, 48th overall, of the 2016 NHL Draft. This past week, Hart went 3-0-0-0, maintained a 1.33 goals-against-average, stopped 97 of 101 shots for a .960 save percentage, and recorded one shutout as the Silvertips advanced to the second round of the 2018 WHL Playoffs.

Heading onto the road for Games Three and Four after a split in the first two games in Everett, Wash. against the Seattle Thunderbirds, Hart stopped 33 of 34 shots in a 3-1 win against the defending Ed Chynoweth Cup Champions to take the series lead. Hart also earned first star honours in the game.

In Game Four of the Series, Hart stopped 28 of 31 shots in a 7-3 win for the Silvertips. Returning home for Game Five Saturday, Hart put the exclamation point on the series victory against the Silvertips' regional rivals, stopping all 36 shots directed his way for his third career WHL playoff shutout. He was named the first star of Saturday's game and the first star of the night across the WHL.

In 32 career playoffs games, Hart has now compiled a 15-12-5-0 record, 2.30 GAA, .924 SV% and three shutouts. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound product of Sherwood Park, Alta. has appeared in 190 career WHL regular season games, sporting a 116-46-10-12 record, 2.01 GAA, .927 SV% and 26 shutouts.

Hart was recently named to the Western Conference First All-Star Team and was named the 2017-18 Western Conference's Player of the Year and Goaltender of the Year.

The Silvertips will now await the conclusion of the series between the Portland Winterhawks and Spokane Chiefs to determine their second round opponent in the 2018 WHL Playoffs.
