Goalies’World rankings

Ryan Miller’s still on top

For a 5th straight Monday Ryan Miller, of the Buffalo Sabres is the Goalies’World rankings leader with a rock solid 20-8-3, 1.98, .935 record, leading the NHL in goals against average and save percentage. However, his lead over Miikka Kiprusoff in second place shrinked from from 90 points to 78 points. Miller was 1-1-1 this week, stopping 105 of 114 shots for a .919, 2.90 record.

 

 

 

 

Goalies’World goalie of the week
Three stolen wins for Halak

Jaroslav Halak was nothing short of spectacular in goal for the Montreal Canadiens this week, stopping 142 of 146 shots for a 3-0-0, .959, 1.99 record. That’s a lot of rubber for only three games as the Habs were ridiculously outshot 50-23 (Atlanta), 47-25 (Carolina) and 49-23 (Toronto) in three road games. The Habs won 4-3, 5-1 and 3-2 and those are three stolen wins. Halak is one step away from a Goalies’World Top Ten ranking now, sitting in 11^th place with a 10-6-0, .924, 2.56 record.

 

Stealers of the week

A 40 saves shutout by Halak

 

For a second straight week, Jaroslav Halak, of the Montreal Canadiens, is our stealer of the week. You could pick any of his three stolen wins of the week and that would earn him our weekly award but he’s guilty of three day light robberies. Awesome!
