The Chicago Blackhawks found themselves in a difficult situation during Thursday’s game, when the team lost Anton Forsberg and Collin Delia due to injuries.
Lucky for them, they had an emergency goalie in tow. The potential problem was that he had never seen action in an NHL game up to that point.
And oh yeah, he’s a 36-year-old accountant.
Scott Foster entered the game in the third period of the game, and he was flawless. He stopped all seven shots he faced.
