Unusually, upon Stevenson's NHL debut with the Rangers -- with a heavily depleted roster due to World War II, and with the Rangers' starting goaltender Ken McAuley unable to play because of a knee injury -- on February 12, 1945, against the Montreal Canadiens, he had played earlier in the day for the New York Rovers of the Eastern Amateur Hockey League against the Washington Lions, giving up four goals in a 4-4 tie. Stevenson made 36 saves in a 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.[1]
