Wayne Thomas, back in 1973, was the last Canadiens rookie goalie to score a shutout in his NHL debut. A 3-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks back on Jan 14, 1973.
In the 80's I recall Quebec Nordiques goalie Mario Gosselin also recorded a shutout in his NHL debut. But that was in 1984. There have been other(s) since but don't know.
That's an interesting piece of info. Mario. I hope this bodes well for his future! I personally thought he was steady and didn't over react or challenge too aggresively. I good start for Danis!
