Jaxson Stauber had so much fun making history in his NHL debut, he decided he might as well do it again.

In Chicago's 5-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, Jaxson's 34 of 35 saves allowed him to become the first Blackhawks goaltender to win back-to-back starts since Gilles Meloche did it. In 1971.

Adding in the win over St. Louis, Stauber's save percentage over two starts is now .940. Considering he was just signed into a two-year entry-level contract, last year, the Hawks definitely have some time to let this kid shine. The fact that he's only 23, and fourth in line doesn't seem to bother him at all. Even getting run over didn't rattle him.
He's just here to do what goaltenders should do. And Coach Richardson (along with the entire Blackhawks fanbase) has noticed.
