Maxime Lagace showed all the poise of a veteran goaltender Sunday as he stopped 23 of 24 shots for the Chicago Wolves – and the performance couldn’t have come at a better time.
One week after his first NHL call-up, Lagace headed back west as the Golden Knights lost another goaltender to the injured reserve list.
“It’s been a really crazy week,” Lagace said prior to making his return trip. “(Vegas) wanted me to play (with Chicago) for the weekend, so I was pretty excited to get back on the ice, but now it’s going up and starting over.
