Filip Gustavsson Scores First Goalie Goal In Franchise History
2 months agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson wrote himself into history books against St. Louis on Tuesday by scoring the first goalie goal in franchise history. He wrapped up a 4-1 win with an empty-net goal inside the final seconds of play. The tally went down as a power-play marker. Gustavsson is the 15th goaltender in NHL history to light the lamp. The Swedish netminder wasn't bad at his normal duties either on Tuesday, stopping 27 of 28 shots. It's still early in the season, but Gustavsson looks set for a very successful campaign. He has gone 2-0-1 through three starts with a 1.66 goals-against average and a .948 save percentage.
