Carter Hart forced from Flyers game after injury

Well, this isn't what the Philadelphia Flyers wanted to have to deal with right now. 

Starting goaltender Carter Hart has been forced from tonight's game at Wells Fargo Center against the Buffalo Sabres after suffering what is described as a "mid-body" injury. Unfortunately, he's been ruled out of action for the remainder of the evening. 

This is the play in question that the Flyers net minder was injured on: 

Though Hart attempted to continue to play, the discomfort proved to be too much to overcome. Backup Samuel Ersson is now between the pipes for the Flyers. 

So far this season, Hart has racked up a 4-3-0 record with a 2.30 goals against average, .921 save percentage and one shutout.
