UND's Hrynkiw Shines in Second-Career Start

(s/t to Schlossman for the video) All week long, Matt Hrynkiw has been the story. It's a nice feel-good story. Everyone has been talking about the walk-on third-string goalie at the Wednesday hockey press conference.

Myself included.

Last night, Hrynkiw stopped  all 27 shots that he faced, earning him a shutout. Hrynkiw looked good between the pipes.

As I tweeted last night, after three games, Hrynkiw now has a 2-0-1 record, a 1.66 GAA, and a .933 SV%. That's pretty impressive for a third-string goalie that was probably never expected to play and probably wouldn't have played if Cam Johnson hadn't gone down with an injury.

Now, Johnson might have to work very hard to regain his starting spot. Frankly, I have been more impressed with Hrynkiw than I have with Johnson. Obviously, that could change.
