Ex-UAF Goalie Johnson Shines For Rangers
One last look around the NHL exhibition rinks before we call it a weekend.
Former UAF goaltender Chad Johnson entered the New York Rangers' 5-2 win at Boston today about halfway through the game and stopped all 12 Bruins shots he faced. Former Nanook winger Aaron Voros was busy in just 11:36 of ice, with one shot, seven hits, a fighting major and a goalie interference penalty. For the Bruins, former Nanook defenseman Jeff Penner was -1 in 19:08.
The Philadelphia Flyers are making sure defenseman Matt Carle of Anchorage gets his exercise -- he logged 27:44 in a 5-4 loss at Toronto and had an assist.
Montreal got pole-axed 6-1 in Ottawa. Canadiens center Scott Gomez of Anchorage was -1 with two shots in 19:20; former UAA defenseman Chad Anderson was -1 in 15:58 for Montreal, and feisty former Alaska Aces winger/guitar wizard Eric Neilson was up to his old tricks for Les Habitants -- he racked a fighting major, tripping penalty and slashing penalty in a mere 8:13.
