BREAKING: Troy Grosenick to Make NHL Debut

While playing for the Union Dutchmen, Grosenick won the Ken Dryden award for Goaltender of the Year and was nominated for the Hobey Baker award. In 2013 he signed as a free agent with the San Jose Sharks.

With Alex Stalock on injured reserve for an extended period of time after having surgery on his left knee Troy Grosenick is ready to make his NHL debut against the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. Grosenick is currently leading the AHL in wins and holds a 7-2-1 record, a 2.73 goals against average and a .908 save percentage. Given the injury suffered to Alex Stalock it won’t be surprising to see Grosenick stick around for an extended duration.
