Heading into Sunday, Nov. 28, just four goaltenders in the NHL have started a league-high 17 games for their clubs.
- Robin Lehner (VGK): 9-8-0
- Juuse Saros (NSH): 9-7-1
- Thatcher Demko (VAN): 6-10-1
- Tristan Jarry (PIT): 10-4-3
One of these names might look familiar: he’s the goaltender who made 141 saves on the last 143 shots he faced while in the Penguins’ net.
Jarry is doing very well among this group— after all, he's the only one with a double-digit win column. Still, it seems seems that at this point in the campaign (when all teams have played between 17 and 23 games) a starting goaltender would ideally be facing a slightly lighter workload.
