After injuries to both their starting goalie and their backup, the Carolina Hurricanes had almost half the game left against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Toronto. Emergency Backup Goalie David Ayres- a 42-year-old zamboni driver and practice goalie for the Leafs was brought in. It was 3-1 for the visiting Hurricanes when he came in, and he started slowly, letting in two goals on the first 2 shots. The team, and Ayres, tightened up in the third period and the Hurricanes won 6-3.
