Yeah, the TV feed was wonky tonight. There was a lot of that.They couldn't have made the replay any worse
He looked sooo happy to score that.Yeah, it was a 6 on 4 with a minute or so left, and Iowa leading by two. the opportunity presented itself, and he didn't hesitate. He had a very strong game in the nets, also. Seems very calm back there, and doesn't give out rebounds.
Well in that replay, Iowa was winning 4-2 despite being outshot 37-16... so that's promising. But, he's 1-5 with an .899 save percentage so overall not great although the team is bad.How has he been?

Decided to pony up an AHL TV team pass for Iowa. Watching the highlights from last night, Wallstedt is a little worrisome. First goal was definitely a bad one to give up.
Very true. Off to a really good start tonight.Welcome to the club! Some great hockey is played down there.
As for Wallstedt, he gad definitely ran a bit hot and cold to start his pro career. Not worried yet, lots of time for the young lad.
As far as Wallstedt, it's all about letting in the bad angle shots. It's a definite weakness- he's got to cover the post better. The announcer keeps talking about how the angles are different on SHL ice, and i get that to a certain extent, but we are talking BAD angles(near goal line) from 25'+ out.Decided to pony up an AHL TV team pass for Iowa.

Otherwise, i like his play.
He’s such an interesting player. He was saving a lot of high danger shots last night, but the night before he let in a weak shot through the five goal from the corner boards near the goal line.I think Wallstedt has looked good. It’s going to take time to Adjust to North America. He’s very smart and reads the play well. Swallows a lot of shots. He’ll be fine. This season will be good for him. Wouldn’t be upset if he’s in the AHL next season either. He’s a 20yo goalie.

That's what you want to see with your goaltender.Awesome weekend for Wallstedt against Rockford! Stopped 20 of 21 last night and 33 of 34 tonight. He's given up 1 goal in each of his last 3 starts.
I think it's a mistake on the AHL website. He's definitely a rookie,That's what you want to see with your goaltender.
2.87GAA and a .906 SV%.
He's trending upwards.
Also why is he not considered a rookie?
I'm sure oddities happen, but typically yes, PP Save % is lower than 5v5.It also helps that Iowa(and Wallstedt) has some of their more talented players back on the ice. They were looking pretty thin for a while there. Still think that the goalies down in Iowa have their stats deflated by the high amount of penalties that they take. I am not 100% sure of this, but I think that shots taken on the PP have a higher shooting % than ES shots, right?
Not sure if you were talking about Wallstedt in particular, but both NHL goalies have a 1.000 save % when we're on the PP.I'm sure oddities happen, but typically yes, PP Save % is lower than 5v5.
As an aside, what I'd be interested in learning is what PK Save % looks like compared to 5v5. I have a feeling it'd actually be worse than 5v5 simply because any shot you face tends to be an odd-man or breakaway situation, but I'm not sure where to find that information.
I just meant in general, but thanks for providing that info! Where did you find it? I was searching Google a bit but didn't see any promising stat sites.Not sure if you were talking about Wallstedt in particular, but both NHL goalies have a 1.000 save % when we're on the PP.

Thanks! I just decided to check it out. Looks like there's a lot of variance for 2022-23 (ranges from 1.000 to .500), but that was expected on such a small sample. Looking at the last 3 years for guys who've had at least 85 shots against while killing a penalty, it's actually surprisingly high at .929. My guess appears to have been wrong, at least for the last 3 years. Sorry for the off topic, done now!Natural Stat Trick lets you sort by situation.
