It’s no secret that the Minnesota Wild’s Goaltending was severely lacking this season. Even marginal improvements in net would have put the Wild in serious contention for a Divisional Playoff Spot, rather than vying for a Wild Card spot. Minnesota only played themselves into a postseason position because of a goaltending heater Alex Stalock had, where he started eighteen of the last twenty-five Wild games, with a record of 11-5-2, and a save percentage of .920, a step of from his season save percentage of .910, which is league average.
For goalies with at least ten games played, Alex Stalock’s eighteen game stretch, if it were played over an entire season, would put him tied for thirteenth in the league with Robin Lehner and Ben Bishop.
