goalie Scott Fosters’ heroics in the Blackhawks net last week recalls the
experience of former BU goalie John Aiken, who was pulled from the Boston
Garden stands on March 13, 1958 when Canadiens netminder Jacques Plante was injured.
Aikens played nearly two periods, giving up six goals on 18 shots in a Bruins
win. He became the first Terrier to play in the NHL. Last week Jordan Greenway
became the 82nd.
