NHL Goalie Tandems Ranked: Which Unexpected Duos Could Make or Break Their Teams This Season?
The big, hulking Russian has been locked in early this season. His rare combination of athleticism, balance and size makes it easy to see why teams struggle to get the puck past him. Vasilevskiy has won his last eight starts while posting a ridiculous .956 save percentage over that span.
Behind him, Jonas Johansson has been good enough to win in most of his starts, and that’s exactly what Tampa Bay is looking for. His numbers aren’t eye-popping, but he has won five of seven. His job is to inspire enough confidence from coach Jon Cooper to allow him to keep Vasilevskiy fresh, and thus far he is doing that job.
