On Thursday night, Zach Fucale FINALLY got his first start in the National Hockey League, and at 26 years old, despite all the trials and tribulations, he has NEVER given up.
Recalled by the Caps mid-week to fill in for Vitek Vanecek's absence, Fucale was smoking against the Red Wings and with a flawless performance, earned a shutout.
Then, on top of all that, he became the first goalie in the Capitals franchise history to record a shutout in his NHL debut. Pretty incredible performance in a first game in the show!
Of course, his parents were in attendance, where they saw their son made 21 saves in a very emotional game for the whole family.
