At the end of the Philadelphia/Boston game on Saturday night, Flyers goaltender Carter Hart expressed his frustration by repeatedly smashing his stick over the net. The Flyers lost the game, with Hart giving up six goals on 26 shots.

While the frustration is understandable, Hart appears to now regret his actions.

''I just kind of boiled over," Hart said postgame, according to NHL.com's Adam Kimelman. "I regret doing that. I'm not a guy who gets angry too often, but just frustrated. It was unprofessional of me to do that there at the end. So I apologize for anyone who saw that. Just heat of the moment."

As a young goalie in the NHL, games like Saturday's are bound to happen, and Hart will face adversity. His teammates should use this to motivate them in their next game. This is just a bump in the road for Hart, and there's no doubt he'll bounce back.

Despite the loss, the Flyers sit second in the MassMutual East Division with a record of 3-2-1 through 6 games.

Hart, 22, was drafted in the second round, 48th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. In 79 regular season games, he has 42 wins, 28 losses, 5 overtime/shootout losses, a 2.69 G.A.A., a .913 save percentage, and 1 shutout. In 14 career playoff games, Hart has a record of 9 wins, 5 losses, a 2.23 G.A.A., a .926 save percentage, and 2 shutouts.

Hart and the Flyers will look to bounce back on Tuesday when they face the New Jersey Devils.
