The road back to the NHL has been long and winding for Dylan Ferguson.
This is only the second time Ferguson has suited up in the NHL. A seventh-round pick of the Dallas Stars in 2017, he was called up by the Vegas Golden Knights from the Western Hockey League’s Kamloops Blazers during the 2017-18 campaign.
The Knights didn’t give him a qualifying offer last summer so he attended the camp of the AHL’s Toronto Marlies on a professional tryout. He was in the Maple Leafs training camp and signed a minor-league deal with the Marlies, but only saw action in five games. Ottawa assistant general manager Ryan Bowness had been searching for help because with Anton Forsberg out for the season, the Senators needed Sogaard in Ottawa to backup Cam Talbot. Mandolese and Bibeau were also nursing ailments at the time which left Belleville without a goalie.
“It’s a really good story. I’m really happy for him and really proud of him,” Belleville goalie coach Justin Peters told the club’s website. “Just a couple of weeks ago he was headed to the ECHL and he got an opportunity here. “I’m just going to do my job and leave my best out there,” Ferguson said. “That’s all I can ask of myself, right? Everyone is here for a reason, they’re the best players in the world so it’s a good feeling to be out there with them.”Article content
