Good point! I wonder if that is the NHL record? Can only think of 2 people with the same name, 2x Greg Adams, 2x Mike Brown (or actually if you take the backup Mike Brown who also has official NHL cards then you would have 3x Mike Browns).....but any other names with 3 with actual playing time?

Kevin Lankinen in net for CHI tonight

Fredrik Handemark SJS 1/18

Jalen Chatfield tonight for VAN
