Former Viper Zaba Makes NHL Debut vs Canadiens:

This was posted on the New York Rangers website:

John Tortorella decided to give his star goalie the rest of the night off at this point as the Rangers head coach replaced Lundqvist with rookie Matt Zaba. Lundqvist allowed four goals on 15 shots, stopping only two of five shots in the middle stanza.

The appearance for Zaba marked the National Hockey League debut for the 26-year-old from Saskatchewan. He made his first save at 9:45 on a Mathieu Darche backhand attempt from in close. However, a minute after that he surrendered his first goal in the NHL.

Zaba also surrendered a goal to Tomas Plekanec at 9:28 of the third period with the Canadiens skating on a two-man power play advantage. Zaba finished with 14 saves. Montreal knocked off the Rangers 6-0 Saturday night.
