first European goaltender to start an NHL game
This statement was tagged dubious. The closest online source to support this I can find at the moment is this:, which includes the statement: "1977-78: Sweden's Hardy Astrom (New York Rangers) and Goran Hogosta (New York Islanders) become the first European-born and trained goaltenders to play in the NHL. Astrom plays four games and Hogosta one." Given that Hogosta only played 9 minutes that season it appears he didn't start. But better, more detailed sources needed to support the "first to start" claim. I mean, there must be a way to flesh out this article anyway, I'm surprised it's so stub-by.
