Bookies left reeling as NHL star sets new unlikely league record that may never be broken

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Connor Ingram made history in the National Hockey League on Wednesday night, recording 47 saves in his first-ever career shutout.

It's not often that games end goalless after regular time in the NHL, so rare that you'll average odds of 100/1 in the event of such an outcome. But a 0-0 certainly wouldn't have been the case if Ingram wasn't on form against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Coyotes managed to take the win after edging the visitors 2-1 in the shootout.

The Coyotes were huge underdogs on Wednesday as they welcomed the Stanley Cup winners from 2021, but Ingram put on a show in front of his home fans. 47 saves is a new NHL record for the amount of stops made during a first-career clean sheet, and he eclipsed team-mate Karel Vejmelka's total set back in 2021.
