PENALTY SHOTS:

DID YOU KNOW?

• Chris is an avid triathlete.
• Chris was called up the Red Wings in October 1985, after starter Eddie Mio went down with a knee injury. He made his only NHL appearance on October 19, 1985, against Chicago. Starter Corrado Micalef allowed three goals in the first period. Pusey entered the game, and Detroit pulled to within one goal after two periods; however, three Chicago goals in the third (including the first NHL goal by defenseman Marc Bergevin) would end the Red Wing comeback bid.
• Chris returned to hockey in 2001, with the Dundas Real McCoys, an OHA senior team, and the club made the final four in the Allan Cup tournament. What's so shocking about this? Chris was playing not as a goaltender, but as a defenseman!
