NHL Goalie Tandems Ranked: Which Unexpected Duos Could Make or Break Their Teams This Season?
32. St. Louis Blues
| Goalie | Record | Save % | GSAx |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6-5-5 | .882 | -7.63 | |
| 3-5-2 | .877 | -3.69 |
Based on perceived talent, the Blues’ goalie tandem would be ranked much, much higher than this. Jordan Binnington is viewed as a clutch performer and could still start for Team Canada at the Olympics. Entering this season, Joel Hofer was widely considered one of the best backups in the NHL, capable of starting for multiple teams.
Based on the results this season, though, this tandem couldn’t be ranked anywhere but last. The Blues have actually played decent hockey as a team, ranking in the top half of the league in nearly every underlying metric. They’ve given up the second-fewest expected goals per 60 minutes.
