Goaltenders
The Jets have played poorly for five games straight, while the Blues have been offensively top heavy - which is to be expected, considering the personnel who are out. It is interesting to see Hutchinson start, considering these are his stats for his last five games:
GAME | DEC | GA | SA | SV | SV% | SO | PIM | TOI | EV GA | PP GA | EN GA | EN GA |
14 NOV '15 WPG @ NSH | L | 3 | 7 | 4 | .571 | 0 | 0 | 12:01 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
10 NOV '15 WPG @ MIN | 1 | 16 | 15 | .938 | 0 | 0 | 28:04 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
05 NOV '15 WPG @ OTT | O | 2 | 31 | 29 | .935 | 0 | 0 | 65:00 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
01 NOV '15 WPG @ MTL | L | 4 | 9 | 5 | .556 | 0 | 0 | 23:02 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
29 OCT '15 CHI @ WPG | W | 1 | 46 | 45 | .978 | 0 | 0 | 60:00 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
That's a crapshoot, which is basically the Jets' goaltending right now. Neither goaltender is playing well at all. It's disappointing to see Burmistrov on the fourth line, with Peluso and Copp. Perhaps we should be thankful for Hitchcock's use of younger players after all.
