First NHL start Halverson made 19 saves in a 6-4 loss to Utah on Saturday. He allowed five goals.

Impact It was his first NHL start, and the loss wasn't on him. As Bolts' coach Jon Cooper said in the post-game scrum, Halverson's teammates simply didn't play well enough in front of their netminder, especially against a gritty team that's hungry to claw their way to a wild card spot. Halverson will be with the Bolts under Jonas Johansson (personal) returns to the squad. He may not get another start, but at least he lived out his dream. Halverson had made one appearance in relief several seasons ago, but he'd never seen his name in the starting lineup until Saturday.

Impact Halverson was taken by the Rangers two rounds before Igor Shesterkin in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, but hasn't played in the NHL since his lone game for them in 2018. Since then, he played in the ECHL and in Germany's second division before earning an AHL contract with Syracuse last season. Halverson split his time between the AHL and ECHL in 2023-24, but was Syracuse's starter in the Calder Cup Playoffs. He's a long-shot, but he has a dream.
