Ex-All-Star Goalie Faces Steep Hill In NHL Comeback Bid

A former All-Star Game goalie is trying to claw his way back into the NHL, but the path looks anything but clean. The story centers on whether there is still a fit for a veteran who once had real cachet and now has to prove the league still has room for his game. In this business, the resume gets you in the door, but the last few years usually decide whether the door stays open. This one has the feel of a goaltending audition where every save matters and every mistake gets remembered.
