Scored the only goal.
He's probably the entire team.

Actually, the goaltender, Kristan, saved 60 of 65. Looked pretty good in the highlights I saw. Had one soft goal but also showed a lot of mobility and quickness.

Kristan, the goalie, saved 60 of 65 shots?! Damn, maybe the Kings should sign him too. But only if he's coming off major knee surgery....
