Nordiques lose first game before returning home
October 14th 2015 - There were some concerns in Quebec City about opening the season with four away games, but the team could hardly have come out with a better start. Helped by stellar play by goaltender Anton Khudobin, the Nordiques shutout the Bruins 3-0 in their second game and beat the Panthers 2-1 in their third game, before losing to the Rangers in the last of the away-stand.
Mats Zuccarello scored his second goal of the night, his fifth of the season already, with less than 5 minutes to go after a penalty to Adam Henrique, to lead the Rangers to a 2-1 win. The hero of the game was Henrik Lundqvist, who helped completely shutdown the Nordiques' nine powerplay opportunities, stopping 38 out of 39 shots along the way.
Head coach Guy Boucher has already announced that Khudobin will be in nets for the home opener against the Arizona Coyotes.
