Props to rookie goaltender Reto Berra, who picked up a win in his very first NHL start, in overtime over the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks no less. He made 42 saves on 44 shots — that’s a .955 save percentage, earned against the likes of Marian Hossa, Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp and Jonathan Toews.

Not too shabby, Mr Berra. Keep that up, and something tells me this Abbotsford Heat paint job might need a flaming C or two thereupon.

Highlights of his win after the jump.

In the meantime, the Abbotsford Heat have won three in a row on the road, and sit in first place in the West Division with 15 points. Their next home game is Tuesday night against the San Antonio Rampage, but more than a few people are looking forward to the visit from Hall of Famer Mike Bossy on Saturday night prior to a tilt against the dirty rotten stinkin’ Toronto Marlies.
