Alexander lives dream, plays for Maple Leafs as emergency goalie. University of Toronto student relieves Samsonov for final 1:10 of victory against Canadiens.
Alexander also served as an emergency backup for the Colorado Avalanche against the Maple Leafs on Dec. 1, 2021, for the first period of an 8-3 Toronto win. Justus Annunen, who was recalled that night from Colorado of the American Hockey League, took over in the second period upon arriving at the arena.
“Being a Leafs fan for a very long time, it’s pretty SPECIAL when you get to put that jersey on and just be out there and sitting on the bench just taking it all in was a dream come true, honestly,” Alexander said.
