Carter Hart stopped 31 shots in regulation and overtime as well as one of three shootout attempts in Friday’s 7-6 loss to the Red Wings. While Detroit scored five times on 13 shots in the first period, Hart was able to regain his focus and give the Flyers a chance to not only mount a comeback but take the lead with about five minutes left in the third.

However, Dylan Larkin scored from a bad angle when the netminder left a gap at the post to send the game into OT. Hart was beaten by Lucas Raymond and Patrick Kane in the shootout to take the loss. The Philadelphia netminder had been in and out of the lineup due to an illness, so he may not have been completely recovered. He still hasn’t taken a regulation loss in nearly a month, going 3-0-2 over his last five starts with a 2.73 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Elias Pettersson registered two assists, seven shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday’s 7-4 win over the Sharks.

Pettersson has generated four goals and nine helpers through 11 games in December, including five multi-point efforts. The 25-year-old helped out on both of Andrei Kuzmenko’s first-period markers in Saturday’s victory. Pettersson has 13 goals, 30 assists, 94 shots on net, 41 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 35 contests this season as the Canucks’ top-line center.
