His MLS Team of the Week nomination couldn’t have come at a better time.
Goalkeeper Evan Bush, who stopped five shots as the Impact defeated the Houston Dynamo last Saturday, got that nod after reaching significant milestones. Not only did Bush pick up his 25th MLS win, but he also kept his 25th clean sheet since joining the Impact, back in the second division days.
Here is a dates-and-numbers look at the goalkeeper’s Montreal career thus far.
