from Curtis Pashelka of the Mercury News,
The most composed player on the ice Sunday night for the Sharks was a goaltender making his NHL debut.
Troy Grosenick made his first start a historic one, making 45 saves to lead the Sharks to a 2-0 win against the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena.
It is the most saves by a Sharks goalie in an initial start, and according to the Elias Sports Bureau, Grosenick is the first goaltender since Mike Fountain for Vancouver in 1996 to record 40 saves or more and a shutout in his NHL debut.
"I think what really calms you down is your preparation before the game even starts," said Grosenick, who was called up by the Sharks on Wednesday after an knee injury to Alex Stalock. "I just stuck to the same process as always, tried to treat it like any other game and felt calm and composed right from the drop of the puck."
