When Trent Miner sat at his locker room stall after the best afternoon of his professional life, he really tried to keep his emotions in check.
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Trent Miner was standing near his net after the final horn when defenseman Ilya Solovyov greeted him with a big embrace.
Miner will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Saturday, per Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports. Miner has appeared in two games for the Avalanche this season, stopping 40 of 44 shots en route to a record of 0-0-2. Columbus is tied for 20th in the league this campaign with 2.98 goals per contest.
He will not be changing his name to Trent Minerwood, but Trent Miner has become the unofficial third member of the “Woodshed.” “Scott and Mackenzie, they’ve both been great for me,” Miner said after shutting out the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday at Ball Arena.
