Zemgus Girgensons during pre-game warm-up at the Sabres @ Senators hockey game

NHL forward Zemgus Girgensons during pre-game warm-up at the Sabres @ Senators hockey game in Ottawa on December 29, 2014. Girgensons was selected 14th overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Sabres. With this selection Girgensons became the highest-drafted Latvian in NHL history. After scoring three goals and adding one assist in five pre-season games, Girgensons began the 2013–14 season in the NHL with the Buffalo Sabres. Girgensons was the runaway leader in fan voting for the 60th National Hockey League All-Star Game, buoyed in large part by votes from his native Latvia.
