I'm fairly certain that this is the first this has happened...goaltenders with the same name getting shutouts in the same (pro) league on the same night.
Matt Murray and the AHL Toronto Marlies shut out Manitoba, 5-0, tonight (January 19, 2025).
And Matthew Murray and the AHL Milwaukee Admirals shut out Texas, 4-0.

"Wanna go, Prettyboy?"
With Taylor Hall suiting up for the Hurricanes today, he played for his seventh NHL team.
He joins Joe Murphy (DET, EDM, CHI, STL, SJS, BOS, WSH) and Roman Hamrlik (TB, EDM, NYI, CGY, MTL, WSH and NYR) as First overall picks who have played for seven different teams.
(Without looking) Who's the one first overall selection who suited up for eight teams?

I'll admit I had to check to confirm, but my initial thought was Garry Monahan (the first draft pick ever), who only played for 5 teams. Did get it on my third try: Rob Ramage.
Edit: I added the name behind a spoiler.

Interestingly, the correct answer started - and ended - his career playing for teams that neither Hall nor Hamrlik ever suited up for.
True, though it would have been hard for them to play for the one. And Hall still has time to do so (interesting as well that Hall has yet to play for any of Ramage's teams.)

The two most recent goaltenders to make their National Hockey League debut are both named Jakub (Dobes and Skarek) and both playing on the road at the defending Cup champion Panthers. (Dobes fared better than Skarek, at least).
