However, there was positive news when Hart took the ice for a short workout and to face a few shots from teammates after the scrimmage.

Day 10 of Phase 3 Flyers camp featured another absence from Carter Hart, though head coach Alain Vigneault is not concerned, and a possible late add to the Flyers roster for Toronto that would be remarkable.
