Scott Foster last played in a competitive game at Western Michigan University in 2006, and had just been picked up as the team's emergency goaltender earlier the day before. Regular Blackhawks goalie Anton Forsberg -- who is himself a replacement for Corey Crawford, who's dealing with a concussion -- was injured in practice yesterday morning, so backup Collin Delia started the game.

The accountant-turned goalie did his job, not allowing any goals as he blocked all seven shots he saw.
