Fowler Is the Youngest Goalie to Win Outdoors, Trejbal Earns His First NCAA Win

NHLPickard's first Wild win makes it five NHL franchises

Calvin Pickard stopped 15 of 17 shots as Minnesota won 4-2 in Vancouver on Sunday, a night after the Wild had beaten Seattle 5-1. It was his first win for Minnesota and the fifth NHL franchise he has won a game for, Kevin Woodley wrote for NHL.com.

By InGoal’s count from the NHL’s career stats, his 75 regular-season wins have come for Edmonton (39), Colorado (28), Philadelphia (4), Detroit (3), and now Minnesota (1); his games for Toronto and Arizona didn’t produce one. The NHL’s game notes put three active goalies ahead of him, and their career stats bear it out: Cam Talbot has won for nine franchises, James Reimer for seven, and David Rittich for six (Calgary, Toronto, Nashville, Winnipeg, Los Angeles, and the Islanders). Reimer signed with the Rangers on Sunday, as our Oct. 25 edition reported.

AHLKolosov and Commesso blank Belleville and Toronto

Aleksei Kolosov was asked for only 16 saves on Sunday, and he made every one as the Lehigh Valley Phantoms beat Belleville 2-0 for their first home win of the season. Three came on a late Senators power play, and Lehigh Valley killed all four. The Phantoms say it is his third shutout in North American pro hockey (Lehigh Valley Phantoms). Kolosov, 24, is from Minsk, Belarus. Philadelphia drafted him in the third round (78th overall) in 2021, and he came over from Dinamo Minsk of the KHL; he has played 21 NHL games for the Flyers (NHL.com).

In Toronto, Drew Commesso also turned aside all 16 shots he faced as Rockford won 3-0 (Toronto Marlies). That finished a two-game IceHogs sweep in Toronto that Stanislav Berezhnoy began on Saturday, making 34 saves on 36 shots in a 3-2 overtime win and taking first star (AHL game report). Commesso, 24, from Norwell, Mass., was Chicago’s second-round pick (46th overall) in 2020, played at Boston University, and has five NHL games with the Blackhawks (NHL.com).

Two goalies we have had on InGoal Radio were first stars on the weekend. Josh Kotai, 23, the New York Islanders prospect, stopped 33 of 34 shots on Saturday as Hamilton won 2-1 in Laval, where the Rocket outshot the Hammers 34-28 (AHL game report). On Sunday, Zach Sawchenko, 28, made 38 saves on 39 shots through overtime for the Chicago Wolves in Milwaukee, where the Admirals outshot Chicago 39-20. Milwaukee won 2-1 in the shootout, and Sawchenko was named first star (AHL game report).

CollegeTrejbal, the 2026 draft's first goalie, earns his first NCAA win for UMass

The first goalie chosen in the 2026 NHL Draft has his first NCAA win. UMass freshman Tobias Trejbal made 26 saves on 29 shots as the Minutemen beat Stonehill 5-3 at home on Saturday (College Hockey News box score). Stonehill got within a goal late in the second period and got no closer, as Trejbal shut the door the rest of the way, including on a one-on-one chance in the third. Ethan Eskit had started the four games before, and coach Greg Carvel said Trejbal had “gotten better every day, and last week in practice, he was looking good, so he deserved to start” (Daily Collegian).

Trejbal, 18, is from Most, Czechia. Calgary took him in the second round, 42nd overall, in June, the first goalie called (USHL), after a season with the Youngstown Phantoms in which he was named the USHL’s goaltender of the year (NHL.com).

Minor hockeyWilliam Chan makes 100 saves on 110 shots in Manitoba U17 AAA

Goalie News doesn’t normally have room for minor hockey results, and we know there are a lot of amazing performances out there every weekend. But this one is verified by a box score online, and when the saves get into triple digits, it really does catch our eye.

Normally, giving up 10 goals sounds like a tough night. But William Chan of the Parkland Rangers U17 team made 100 saves on 110 shots on Sunday, playing all 60 minutes of a 10-1 loss to the Wheat Kings in Rivers, Manitoba. The shots came 31, 36 and 43 by period. Chances are a lot of those 110 were grade-A looks. Congratulations, William, on a big night in a difficult situation.
