Journeyman Michael Houser wins NHL debut for Sabres
by Josh Wegman from on (#5HD4W)
The Buffalo Sabres battled back on Monday night, just like Michael Houser's done his entire life.
The Sabres erased a two-goal deficit to beat the New York Islanders 4-2, earning Houser a win in his NHL debut. He stopped 35 of 37 shots.
The journeyman netminder was never drafted and has spent the bulk of his nine-year pro career in the ECHL, appearing in just one AHL game since 2016-17.
The 28-year-old was also born with bi-lateral clubbed feet and needed multiple correctional surgeries to repair them.
More to come.
