Carter Hart is on the mend.
The Philadelphia Flyers' goaltending phenom will start Thursday night's game against the Washington Capitals, his club confirmed.
Hart, who last played Feb. 21, missed eight games with an ankle injury. He served as Brian Elliott's backup in a win over the Ottawa Senators on Monday.
The 20-year-old rookie has a .917 save percentage and 13 wins in 22 games.
