The Vegas Golden Knights used five different goalies in their inaugural season in 2017-18. Five different netminders is an uncharacteristic number for any team to handle. You would think if a team used that many goaltenders, they would be in the cellar of the conference standings, but that was far from the truth.
Every single goalie the Golden Knights called up, played a huge role in their successful first season in the NHL. Malcolm Subban proved he could be a capable NHL backup, Dylan Ferguson went onto play a few minutes at the NHL level during the year he was drafted in, Max Lagace, gave the team a chance to win every night and Oscar Dansk went 3-0-0 and earned the team’s first shutout in franchise history.
