I thought this also happened to a Washington Capitols goalie once, but maybe I’m confusing it with one of the other incidents.
I can’t say that I remember the incident to which you refer. I haven’t really followed the NHL closely for around 20 years. It’s not suprising that this kind of thing would happen to goalies since they are often down & surrounded by a scrum.
Malarchuk was a veteran goalie for Quebec Nordiques and Washington Capitals, IIRC he’d just been traded to Buffalo for defenceman Calle Johansson and was hurt while playing for Sabres.
