The Calder Race

Ken Dryden – Montreal

Stats: 37 Games 2.12 GAA .932 Sav Pct 7 SHO

Dryden ad Tony O are just killin it this year with almost identical stats. Dryden is Montreals workhorse and is shutting down opponents. He already has 7 shutouts on pace for a record 14 this year. With Montreal battling NY and Boston their season will hinge on him.

Tony Esposito – Chicago

Stats: 38 Games 2.12 GAA .932 Sav Pct 6 SHO

Like Dryden Tony O is carrying the Blackhawks. He also has played most of their games and leads the league with 24 victories. His 6 Shutouts are tied with Favell and just one back of Dryden. With a solid defense in front of him expect him to be a top 3 guy at seasons end.

Doug Favell – LA Kings

Stats : 35 Games 2.21 GAA .918 Sav Pct 6 SHO

When Favell was traded for 1st rd pick Billy Smith alot of GMs shook their heads but boy has Dougie payed off. He is keeping LA in the West hunt with 6 saves and stellar play night after night . He is the only reason that LA continues to be a top 8 team.

Bernie Parent – Philadelphia

Stats : 34 Games 2.81 GAA .916 Sav Pct 16 Great Saves

Like Favell the same can be said of Bernie. Without him the Flyers just arent a .500 club. He has carried them in games where he has face 40-50 shots. His 16 great saves is third only to Dryden and Tony O.

HONORABLE MENTION:

There are many more top goalies who have play less then the 27 game minimum. Giacomin with his 2.09/.913, Johnston 2.15/.933 and Worsley 2.33/926 just to name there. The VHL is deep in great goaltending
