Only five goalies have posted multiple shutouts this season, and two of them play in Minnesota. Filip Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt have been arguably the most balanced tandem in the league, and they’re the biggest reason for Minnesota’s red-hot November.
The two Swedish netminders play a similar style, and when they’re on their game, it feels like there’s no net to shoot at. They have an excellent understanding of shooting angles, a great feel for where the net is behind them, and they use positioning and posture to make themselves big in the crease.
