VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Dylan Ferguson has no guarantee of playing, but he will probably remember Thursday's game against the Vancouver Canucks forever.

Ferguson is a 19-year-old goaltender on emergency call-up from junior ranks with the expansion Las Vegas Golden Knights. He is living the dream in the NHL.

"It's a whirlwind," Ferguson told reporters Wednesday. "It's still really surreal. It's kind of sinking in a little bit, but I don't think it will ever sink in. I'll remember this the rest of my life."

He saw his first NHL action Tuesday night in Edmonton, stopping one of two shots in 9:14 of relief duty as the Golden Knights were blown out 8-2.
