Flyers' Hart out at least 10 days with lower-body injury

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart has a lower-body injury and is expected to be out at least 10 days, the club announced Saturday.

The 20-year-old was pulled less than 11 minutes into each of his last two starts. He allowed three goals on nine shots in both appearances.

Veteran netminder Brian Elliott will be the starter for Saturday's outdoor game against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Lincoln Financial Field, Flyers head coach Scott Gordon said Friday.

Hart has arguably been the biggest reason for Philadelphia's resurgence of late, providing the team with much-needed stability in the crease since being called up in December.

Despite his recent struggles, he has a 13-8-1 record and a .917 save percentage through 22 games.
