It’s been nearly two years since Justin Peters found himself inside an NHL crease.
His last appearance in the big leagues was a brief one; a 3 game stint with the 2016-17 Arizona Coyotes – one of three different teams for whom Peters would don a jersey that year – culminating in totals of 134 minutes, 7 goals against, and a .900 save percentage.
In fact, Peters was lucky he even made it there at all.
A one-year deal signed with Arizona on the opening day of 2016 free agency had been completed under the assumption that Peters would serve as backstop for the Tuscon Roadrunners, providing a veteran presence to an AHL affiliate embarking upon their inaugural season.
