Dylan Ferguson's first time on an NHL ice surface didn't come in Tuesday's 8-2 loss where the injury-riddled Vegas Golden Knights called on their fifth-string goalie for mop-up duty. A seventh-round pick at June's draft, the goalie for the Western Hockey League's Kamloops Blazers was sitting in a Boston Pizza on Oct. 30 watching the Golden Knights play the New York Islanders. When the team isn't on the road, Ferguson is living at the Red Rock Casino, about 25 kilometres from the Golden Knights' home at T-Mobile Arena on the Vegas strip. "He's learning the pro game, he's travelling with pro players every day," said Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant. Ferguson, who won Vegas' first-ever exhibition game in Vancouver in September, knows his time in the NHL is probably coming to an end shortly.
