STATISTICAL NOTES:

• The official National Hockey League statistics for 1984-85 credit Lindbergh with seventeen losses. However, research has shown that the November 1, 1984 loss to Winnipeg was incorrectly given to Bob Froese as the fifth goal was allowed by Lindbergh. From the Gettsyburg Times: "The Jets opened up a three-goal lead at 23 seconds of the third period when Robert Picard took a pass from (Dale) Hawerchuk in front of the goal and went over substitute goalie Pelle Lindbergh."
