Ever since the departure of Curtis McElhinney, the Toronto Maple Leafs have struggled to find a solid backup goalie to play behind Frederik Andersen.
While Andersen has arguably been the most consistent player for the Leafs for quite some time, they cannot play him every game, although we wish they could.
The starting goalie position is one of the hardest ones to fill in today’s NHL, and many teams struggle to do so, and fortunately the Leafs are not one of those teams.
While so much time and money can be invested in finding your primary goaltender, one of the most crucial, yet forgettable, positions in hockey is now the backup goalie.
