Despite this though, Alex Stalock’s form for the Minnesota Wild this season has been patchy to say the least. His 0.910 save percentage across 28 games last season is what is required, but right now, 14 games in, he’s rocking a rather feeble 0.894 save percentage. With someone like Kaapo Kahkonen wanting his job, he really needs to step it up.
His most recent outing against the Anaheim Ducks was possibly his poorest of the whole year. He faced eight shots, conceding three goals and being pulled just eight minutes in. As a result, Devan Dubnyk, who was meant to have the night off ended up spending the large majority of the losing affair between the pipes.
