Cal Petersen

Calvin Louis Petersen (born October 19, 1994) is an American ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the fifth round, 129th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Petersen and the Sabres were not able to agree on a contract and on July 1, 2017, he signed a two-year entry level contract with the Kings as an unrestricted free agent.
Prior to turning professional, Petersen played NCAA hockey for the University of Notre Dame. He set a Division 1 record of 87 saves during the longest collegiate hockey game ever. Petersen was named to the All-Rookie Team and First All-Star Team during his time with Notre Dame.
==Playing career==
After attending Waterloo West High School, Petersen played three seasons at the University of Notre Dame.
In his freshman season with Notre Dame, Petersen played in 33 games and posted a 13–16–3 record. He helped lead Notre Dame to the Hockey East playoffs, playing in all six games. On March 6, during Game One of the Hockey East playoffs, Petersen set a Division 1 record 87 saves while playing in the longest collegiate hockey game against the UMass Minutemen. The game lasted five overtimes and ended in a 4–3 overtime loss. Notre Dame later lost in the quarterfinals to Massachusetts–Lowell. At the conclusion of the season, Petersen was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team and to the 2015 Hockey East All-Academic Team.
In his sophomore season, Petersen started in all 37 games of the season, posting a 19–11–7 record. As a result, Petersen was named a Honorable Mention Hockey East All-Star. He was also named a finalist for the 2016 Mike Richter Award as the most outstanding goaltender in NCAA men's hockey and named team MVP.
In his junior year, Petersen was named team captain and led his team to the 2017 Frozen Four where they lost 6–1 to the Denver Pioneers. At the conclusion of the season, Petersen was named to the Hockey East First-Team All-Stars and again named one of the finalists for the 2017 Mike Richter Award. On July 1, 2017, he signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Los Angeles Kings as an unrestricted free agent.
===Professional===
Petersen began the 2018–19 season with the Ontario Reign after being cut from the Kings training camp. On November 12, 2018, he was recalled from the Ontario Reign after Jack Campbell suffered a torn meniscus. He made his NHL debut the following night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, coming in to relieve starter Peter Budaj in the second period. The Kings lost 5–1 to the Leafs with Petersen saving 15 shots and only allowing one goal. The following game, on November 16, Petersen earned his first NHL start in the United Center against the Chicago Blackhawks. He recorded his first NHL win that night in a 2–1 shootout, making 34 saves in total. Two games later, on November 19, Petersen recorded his first career NHL shutout by making 29 saves in a 2–0 win over the St. Louis Blues.
On July 16, 2019, Petersen signed a three year contract extension with the Kings. He then began the 2019–20 season with the Ontario Reign. On January 3, 2020, Petersen was named to the AHL 2020 All Star Game.
==Personal life==
Petersen's father, Eric, was also a goaltender. He played Division III hockey at Bethel University in Minnesota.
