In the four seasons prior to 2018-19, the Carolina Hurricanes finished around 29th in the NHL on average in team save percentage. Their goaltending has been like an anchor, holding them back from rising up the Eastern Conference standings. In seasons when their offense was respectable, the performances they'd get between the pipes would help ensure that more pucks were entering their own net rather than that of their opponents'.
That's changed in a big way this season. The Hurricanes are 12th overall in team save percentage (.905) after finishing 31st last season. Following Saturday's win at Florida, Petr Mrazek (16-12-3) and Curtis McElhinney (17-7-1) have become the first goaltending duo in franchise history to each record 16 wins in the same season.
