LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
Dylan Ferguson was probably unfamiliar to many Ottawa Senators fans prior to Monday, but after a spectacular performance, he's on his way to becoming a household name in the nation's capital.
Ferguson won his first NHL win by making 48 of 49 stops as the Senators defeated the Penguins 2-1 on Monday. He kept a shutout for the majority of the game, with Rickard Rakell scoring with less than six minutes remaining in regulation. Drake Batherson scored the game-winning goal for Ottawa a few minutes later.
With the win, the Senators gave themselves some playoffs optimism, but the bigger news is that the Penguins finished the night outside of the playoff picture. After the Panthers' victory over the Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh now trails Florida by one point with 12 games remaining.
Ferguson made his first NHL action since 2017-18, when he played nine minutes and 14 seconds for a Vegas Golden Knights squad beset by goalkeeper problems.
The 24-year-old called this season as a "rollercoaster" before Monday's game. Ferguson has played for two different AHL clubs this season (the Toronto Marlies and the Belleville Senators) and was even sent to the ECHL's Wichita Thunder in February.
However, Ferguson grabbed a win for the Senators on Monday, dealing a significant blow to the Penguins' playoff aspirations. Money Puck's "Deserve-to-Win-o-meter" nearly appears to understate the magnitude of the upset.
Few goalies' first wins compare to what Ferguson accomplished against the Penguins, as he became only the fourth goalkeeper in NHL history to make at least 48 saves in his debut.
Maybe the rollercoaster ride will take some more unexpected turns, and maybe the pleasure isn't finished for a Senators squad that has showed hints of greatness this season.

Weinman had to outlast the other 10,043 entrants to take home the prize and get his hands on his share of live poker’s largest ever prize pool – a staggering $93,399,900. As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
