Emergency goalie steals the show in Dallas Stars-Anaheim Ducks season finale

The box score doesn't always tell the full story in professional sports, and such was the case in the regular-season finale between the Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks.

Emergency backup goalie Tom Hodges, who played college hockey at SMU, stole the show in what ended up being a 4-2 Stars win.

Clad in a Stars mask and green pads with a Ducks jersey, Hodges entered the first NHL game of his career at the beginning of the third period, after John Gibson and Anthony Stolarz exited the game with injuries.
