Ottawa, Ontario • Maxime Lagace was relieved to pick up his first NHL victory after allowing 11 goals in his first three appearances.
The 24-year-old goalie made 24 saves for the Vegas Golden Knights in a 5-4 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
“It’s good to have the first one finally,” Lagace said. “The guys played really well so I have them to thank for that win.”
The game was all the more special with Lagace’s parents and other family members in attendance.
“They are the hardest-working team in the league,” Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said.
