Aleksei Kolosov Makes Historic NHL Debut as First Belarusian Goalie

The 22-year-old started for the Philadelphia Flyers against the Montreal Canadiens, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Kolosov was recalled by the Flyers and immediately placed in the starting lineup due to inconsistent performances from other goalies.
Despite the Flyers' 4-3 loss to the Canadiens, Kolosov made 20 saves, showcasing his potential at the NHL level.
Communication challenges remain, as Kolosov does not speak English, affecting his coordination with defensemen.
Kolosov's NHL debut follows a tumultuous summer, where he initially resisted playing in the AHL and sought an NHL opportunity.
After starting four games with the Flyers' AHL affiliate, Kolosov was called up as part of a promise for an NHL chance.
