ST. LOUIS (AP) - Los Angeles Kings goalie Yutaka ***ufuji became the first Japanese-born person to play in the NHL when he entered Saturday's 6-5 loss to the St. Louis Blues at the start of the third period.
***ufuji replaced Barry Brust, who allowed five goals in the first two periods.
The 24-year-old ***ufuji was recalled Friday on an emergency basis after Mathieu Garon was placed on injured reserve with a finger injury. ***ufuji became the first Japanese native to dress for a league game Dec. 16 against Dallas in another emergency stint.
