Blackhawks emergency goalie Scott Foster returned to center stage this evening as he joined Blackhawks fanatic Jim Belushi to present this year's Vezina Trophy at the NHL Awards.

Foster was honored himself this year as he was voted the Best NHL First during the Blackhawks Fan Choice Awards following the 2017-18 season. Foster, a 36-year-old accountant, made his NHL debut with Chicago following injury to the previous two active goalies.

After signing an amateur tryout contract earlier in the evening Foster took the ice and proceeded to stop all seven shots on goal he faced as the Blackhawks secured a 6-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets.
