Leland Irving was thrust into action Tuesday as Miikka Kiprusoff had to leave the Flames 4-1 win over Detroit after two periods.
Irving entered the game with a 3-1 advantage so this won't be his first NHL win, but he proved he was capable by stopping the six shots he faced in the third period. If Kiprusoff were to miss an extended stretch of play, Irving would be next in line.
