Boston Bruins‘ 6th round pick in the 2010 draft (#165 overall) goaltender Zane McIntyre(31) has received a pair of surprise NHL starts to boost his sophomore season.
He may have lost both contests and not posted the best GAA at 4.03 and .859 SV% but in his second game played well enough to win, losing only just outside of the last minute.
The 6’2″ 206 lbs. net minder is off to a hot start in his second year with affiliate Providence Bruins posting a 1-0 record with a stingy .044 GAA and brick wall .977 SV% in the AHL.
He was credited with 2015 NCAA top goalie honors and a voted a finalist for the Hobey Baker in his third and final season at University of North Dakota and earned a similar award in 2012 as a 2nd year backstop in the USHL for Fargo Force.
The 24-year could find himself up with the big club for an extended time as the usual back-up goalie may be sidelined for awhile.
