After stopping eight-of-10 shots as Carolina’s emergency goalie on Saturday against the Maple Leafs, the Carolina Hurricanes have invited David Ayers to participate in a home game against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
The 42-year-old, who used to drive the Zamboni for the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, was forced to be Carolina’s emergency goalie for its road game Saturday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Ayres stopped eight-of-10 shots he faced in his NHL debut, helping the Hurricanes capture a 6-3 victory.
Afterward, he was named the game’s first star!
David Ayers had a kidney transplant fifteen years ago, so now the Carolina Hurricanes are going to sell his t-shirts with proceeds going to a kidney foundation.
