- On Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026, Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Carter Hart appeared to injure his left leg during the first period in Las Vegas and left the game after a stoppage, replaced by Akira Schmid.
- With the Blue Jackets holding the puck, officials allowed play to continue because NHL rules bar stopping play for an injured player if the opposing team has the puck unless the injury is clearly serious.
- After joining Vegas Golden Knights, Carter Hart entered the game 5-3-3 with a 3.23 goals-against average and.874 save percentage after signing in October.

- After league eligibility rules allowed signings starting Oct. 15, Hart was the first of five 2018 Canada world junior players to sign an NHL contract and make an appearance in nearly two years.
