One former Blackhawks goaltender who made NHL history is giving a prospect inspiration as he begins his pro hockey career.
Former Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Cristobal Huet will never crack the all-time Centennial Team's roster. But that doesn't mean he didn't make history once upon a time. You may remember that Huet was the first, and so far the only, netminder from France to play in the NHL.
And one prospect for the Washington Capitals is using Huet as inspiration to become the second goaltender to make the big league.
