About Vesa Toskala
Vesa Tapani Toskala is a Finnish former professional ice hockey goaltender. Toskala is the only San Jose Sharks goalie to record a multiple point game. In his first North American season in 2000–01, Toskala played for the Kentucky Thoroughblades of the American Hockey League (AHL). Toskala received ten minutes of playing time in his first stint in the NHL, where he stopped the two shots he faced. Since Nabokov was the established starter, Kiprusoff and Toskala fought for the backup position; Toskala "won" the battle when Kiprusoff was eventually traded to the Calgary Flames.
