Zachary Fucale just completed his first professional season in the Canadiens organization. He was thrust into the starter's role for the AHL's St. John's IceCaps when an injury to Carey Price shuffled all the goaltenders up a spot.
He should have been eased into the life of professional hockey behind starter Dustin Tokarski, but fate had other plans. There were several nervous games on Fucale's part during the course of the season, and on nine occasions he allowed four or more goals in a game, and only four times allowed a goal or less out of 35 starts.
