Leighton gave up three goals on just 16 shots in relief of Cam Ward on Tuesday, but he ended up taking home a win against the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
It's not often that a goalie comes on after the starter's been yanked, posts an .813 save percentage, and wins anyway. That's what happens when your offense explodes for eight goals, though. Leighton generally sees very little work as Cam Ward's interim backup, and Tuesday's performance won't change that.
