This should really come as no surprise as he put up ridiculous numbers again this season as is the presumptive frontrunner for this award.
This was part of the release from the team:
“finished top-five among NHL goaltenders in wins (2nd: 37), shutouts (T-5th: 5), save percentage (2nd: .921), goals-against average (4th: 2.39), games played (3rd: 60), shots against (2nd: 1,798), saves (2nd: 1,656) and minutes (3rd: 3,567). The Commerce, Michigan native backstopped the Jets to second place in the Central Division and won the Williams Jennings Trophy as the goaltender (min. 25 GP) on the team allowing the fewest regular season goals.”
He is going up against the Panthers Sergei Bobrovsky and the Canucks Thatcher Demko.
