Vancouver Canucks: Debating the number one goaltender
Jacob Markstrom and Anders Nilsson have both played well to start the season. But which goaltender has the inside edge on becoming the team’s number one?
The Vancouver Canucks have had a great start to the season. No one (especially), thought the team would be 6-3-2 through 11 games. We can debate the quality of competition on the road trip where the Canucks went 4-1-0, but the team is winning now.
It is early, but if the Canucks go the distance and make the playoffs in April, they will need to know who their number one netminder is by that time. Both goalies have played well, but which one has outperformed the other?
