NHL Goalie Tandems Ranked: Which Unexpected Duos Could Make or Break Their Teams This Season?
We’ve passed the quarter mark of the regular season, so it’s a good time to check in on how all 32 goalie tandems are performing.

While statistics are obviously a big factor in this ranking — results matter, above all — we will also be considering how these goaltenders have looked on film, and take their career-long performances into consideration.
