Filip Gustavsson Earns First Career NHL Win
4 years agoOttawa Senators goaltender Filip Gustavsson captured his first career victory in his first ever NHL start as his team defeated the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Monday night. The 22-year-old, who made his NHL debut in a 8-save relief appearance last Wednesday, was outstanding in this one - turning aside 35 of 36 shots against in the contest. Filling in with goaltenders Matt Murray and Joey Daccord out due to injury, Gustavsson looked about as comfortable as a 22-year-old rookie netminder could look on Monday. He'll likely make a second consecutive start in a rematch with the Flames on Wednesday and is certainly a name worth monitoring moving forward (2% owned in Yahoo! leagues).
