'''Douglas Leonard Stevenson''' (April 6, 1924 – November 9, 1975) was a Canadian professional [[ice hockey]] [[goaltender]] who played eight games in the [[National Hockey League]]: four with the [[New York Rangers]] and four with the [[Chicago Black Hawks]] during the [[1944–45 NHL season|1944–45]] and [[1945–46 NHL season|1945–46 seasons]]. He spent the majority of his career, which lasted from 1943 to 1956, in the [[Pacific Coast Hockey League]] and [[Western Hockey League (1952–1974)|Western Hockey League]]).

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 (AHL)|Washington Lions]], giving up four goals in a 4-4 tie. Stevenson made 36 saves in a 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://thehockeynews.com/news/from-the-archives-a-rare-goaltending-marathon-at-the-garden |title=From the Archives: A Rare Goaltending Marathon at the Garden |last=Fischler |first=Stan |date=January 4, 2023 |website=thehockeynews.com |publisher=The Hockey News |access-date= |quote=}}</ref>
