For a glimpse at the NHL's current playoff leaders, you'll see who the brand new greatest goaltender in the NHL is. Or at least who the very best goaltender in the NHL has been throughout the last week. Braden Holtby has highlighted the New York Rangers' failure to score goals, posting a goals-against average and a.983 save proportion through two games. Now, two playoff games doesn't a superstar make, but Holtby has taken figures similar to this out of his helmet before. Through 14 playoff games with the Washington Capitals last year, Holtby placed a GAA and a.935 save yourself proportion. Not quite the sameAinvincibleAnumbers he's placed in 2013, but still stellar. Therefore while Holtby appeared to be just good enough for the Caps through the regular season, he's once more found the on-switch in the postseason. Can this end up being the norm for Holtby? Could he have the big-game pest that is observed in only the best of the best players in the NHL? Sixteen games can always be too little of an example size to share with if this is his permanent playoff state, but he is played enough to show that he shouldn't be studied lightly at this stage. He's presently out-dueling Henrik Lundqvist once more, and that is no small accomplishment.
