NHL appearance
On February 22, both of the Carolina Hurricanes' goaltenders, James Reimer and Petr Mrazek, were injured during a game against the Maple Leafs. Ayres entered the game during the second period as the emergency backup goaltender, after signing a one-game contract with the NHL.[6] He entered the game at 8:41 left in the 2nd period, meaning he played almost an entire half of the game in goal. He allowed goals on the first two shots he faced before stopping the next eight shots on goal to seal a 6–3 win for Carolina.[7] He became the first emergency backup to enter a game in the NHL since Scott Foster in 2018.[4] Ayres also became the oldest goaltender (at 42 years, 194 days) to win his NHL regular-season debut.[8] He was named first star of the game; he was paid $500 for the game and also received his game-worn jersey and the game puck.[6] Reimer also gave Ayres an autographed goalie stick, and Rod Brind'Amour, Carolina's coach, gave Ayres an autographed bottle of wine.[9] His debut occurred on the 40th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice.[10]

Following the game, the Carolina Hurricanes announced that they would be selling t-shirts with Ayres' name and jersey number 90, with royalties going to Ayres and a portion of the proceeds being donated to a kidney foundation of Ayres' choice.[11]
