Los Angeles Kings‘ goalie Peter Budaj(31) posted league leading numbers for affiliate Ontario Reign.
His 27 wins are first in the AHL as is his 39 games played, 1.56 GAA, .935 SV%, 8 shutouts and 2344:25 minutes in net.
The stellar work in between the pipes and an injury to their starter, plus pasting against the back-up net minder earned him his first NHL start in a couple seasons.
Although he didn’t have the best game, letting in 4 goals on 28 shots with a 3.87 GAA and .857 SV%, he still skated away with the overtime win through 62:18 minutes of work.
Recently reassigned back to the farm club, he’ll no doubt pick up where he left off until he gets another chance in the show.
