| Goalie | Record | Save % | GSAx |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-9-2 | .911 | 12.55 | |
| 3-3-0 | .944 | 8.68 |
The first quarter of the season has been a roller coaster for the Rangers, but the one constant is the goaltending. Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick have combined to save an impressive 21.23 goals above expected.
Shesterkin is the highest-paid goalie in the NHL. He was the top-rated goalie by our anonymous panel of goalies and goalie coaches prior to the season, and through the first quarter, he has played up to all of those expectations. He transitions from saves to recoveries faster and more fluidly than any goalie in the world. It allows him to make sequences of saves that few can.
