Arizona Coyotes‘ 7th round pick in the 2012 draft (#184 overall) Czech Republic-born goaltender Marek Langhamer(30) is one of a few players each season to appear in games in three different pro leagues: NHL, AHL, ECHL.
He was actually recalled to the big club in his rookie campaign after playing for both affiliates but didn’t not appear.
The 6’2″ 185 lbs. net minder was a fairly late reassignment to farm club Tuscon Roadrunners and for the 2nd year in a row a month into 2016/2017 sent further down to make some starts for Rapid City Rush, then again for another four weeks in early January.
Two weeks later he was summoned to serve as back up without expecting to get any playing time but pressed into action for this debut, when Michael Smith went down with an injury.
He made 7 of 8 saves in 15 minutes through 3rd period action to help preserve a 3-2 victory.
The 22-year old is set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the current calendar but looks good to score himself a one or two-year extension to stay put.
