Carter Hart to Vegas + Brady Tkachuk Out 6–8 Weeks | NHL News


Listen Later

Hello guys, and welcome back to another episode of the Hockey Talk with TG Podcast.


In this episode, I dive deep into the Carter Hart signing with the Vegas Golden Knights. Hart, recently cleared to return to NHL action, officially inked a deal with Vegas on Thursday. He won't be eligible to play until December 1, with his potential debut coming a day later against the Chicago Blackhawks. We break down the legal context, the timeline since his acquittal in July 2025, and how the Golden Knights’ goalie depth looks with Adin Hill injured, and Akira Schmid and Carl Lindbom sharing the crease for now. Plus, I’ll talk about what fans can expect from Hart, given his long layoff and conditioning expectations before returning to peak NHL form.


Next, we shift to Brady Tkachuk’s injury news. The Senators captain is out 6–8 weeks following thumb surgery after a tough collision against Nashville. I’ll explore the short- and long-term impacts on Ottawa’s lineup, how this affects their power play and forecheck, and which players need to step up in his absence — names like Shane Pinto, Tim Stützle, Dylan Cozens, and Claude Giroux.


We then spotlight Cole Caufield’s clutch performance in the Canadiens' dramatic 3-2 OT win over the Predators. Caufield tied the game with just 20 seconds left in regulation and won it in OT — marking his second straight overtime game-winner. He now ties a franchise record with 10 OT goals, and the Habs are riding a 4-game win streak, moving to 4-1-0.

Bo Horvat’s natural hat trick powers the Islanders past the Oilers
