Carter Hart explains his botched pass that led to a short-handed goal and him getting pulled

Not much has been going right for the Philadelphia Flyers lately and things really went off the rails Sunday night in a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Flyers were lit up in a 7-1 loss, with starting goaltender Carter Hart pulled after letting in five goals on 15 shots.

The fifth goal, a shorthanded marker by Mathieu Joseph, was especially ugly for Hart. Hart was attempting to pass the puck up the boards, but it was picked off by Joseph who potted the easy goal with Hart way out of his net. Check it out:

Hart was asked about the play following the game.

"I mean, I just turned it over and he put it in the net," said Hart when asked to describe the play.

"I was trying to get it off the boards. I didn't," continued Hart while shrugging his shoulders. "And he just put it in the net. Tough break. I gotta make a better play."

The loss was the Flyers' eighth in a row.
