Fifth-string goalie Dylan Ferguson living the dream with Vegas Golden Knights
VANCOUVER — Dylan Ferguson’s first time on an NHL ice surface didn’t come in Tuesday’s 8-2 loss where the injury-riddled Vegas Golden Knights called on their fifth-string goalie for mop-up duty.
It was actually back in 2010 when the 11-year-old netminder led the Vancouver Canucks onto the ice before a game at Rogers Arena.
He even lined up beside his idol, Roberto Luongo.
“I do remember that pretty well. I was pretty dry-mouthed,” Ferguson, now 19, recalled Wednesday. “It’s all surreal how this turned out.”
