'It was awesome, obviously the time of my life out there,' David Ayres, 42, said after the win. 'Once in a lifetime, I'll take it.' Ayres was the first emergency goalie to play in a game since 2018. And he's the first to record a win.
"It was awesome, obviously the time of my life out there," Ayres told Sportsnet after the 6-3 win."Once in a lifetime, I'll take it."Reimer, the starter, had to leave when teammate Jaccob Slavin was checked and slid into the goalie during the first period. The Hurricanes ruled him out the rest of the game with a lower-body injury.
"There's probably not an emergency goaltender anywhere in pro hockey that has seen as many pro shots as this guy who's in pretty much every day getting work," Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said."It feels terrible given that he's on the other side today from our end of it. On a personal note, you can't help but feel good for the guy."
But John Tavares and Pierre Engvall scored on the first two shots against Ayres before he settled down and left the second period with a 4-3 lead.
