    • Speaking of, via Elias: “Philipp Grubauer, making his first start of the season and the second start of his NHL career, posted his first big-league win with a 4-1 victory over the Rangers in New York. Grubauer is the ninth goaltender whose first NHL win was recorded as a visitor at the current Madison Square Garden, which opened in February 1968. Grubauer may have a future in broadcasting (at least in Germany, his native country) considering that Darren Eliot, Glenn Healy, and Daryl Reaugh are among the eight previous goaltenders to do that. The last goaltender before Grubauer whose first NHL win came as a guest at the “World’s Most Famous Arena” was Atlanta’s Frederic Cassivi in March 2002.”
