The Anaheim Ducks were forced to go with an emergency goalie for the third period against the Dallas Stars after both John Gibson and Anthony Stolarz suffered injuries.

With the game in Dallas, 28-year-old Tom Hodges was forced into action. Hodges last appeared in a professional hockey game in 2016-17 in the ECHL with the Allen Americans, making one appearance.

The Texas native played high school hockey at Plano West High School.

Gibson was forced to leave the game after the first period with an upper-body injury. Stolarz left after the second period because of a lower-body injury.
