Since December 15th (22 games) Jesper has GAA 2,23 and .922 SV%
Last 7 games, GAA 2,12 and .920 SV%
Impressively fast transformation from Olympic size of ice to this smaller ice surfaces. Can we also see some certain consistency already...
Thank you for actually contributing instead of just saying “I like X because and that’s all you need to know”. It’s amazing that almost all the goalies listed have went nuclear as the season has progressed. Using your same timelines:
Dec 15
Wolf •34 games, 1.94 GAA, .938%
Askarov •28 games, 2.82 GAA, .910%
Wallstedt •22 games, 2.23 GAA, .922%
Last 7 games
Wolf •0.86 GAA, .971%, 29.6 shots/game
Askarov •3.29GAA, .915%, 38.5 shots/game
Wallstedt •2.12GAA, .920%, 26.8 shots/game
Wolf has seemingly progressed to putting up his his best WHL numbers, but against AHL teams. Somewhere around the start of February, Askarov flipped a switch and started dominating. Askarov’s stats are suppressed from being absolutely shelled night in, night out, he’s getting the usage the other poster tried claiming Wallstedt does. Wallstedt has finally figured out North American ice and his results have flourished, although he also seemingly is getting the most defensive support recently especially relative to Askarov. Weird part is how their records have played out.
Wallstedt: 12-8-2, 4-2-1
Askarov: 14-10-3, 4-2-1
Wolf: 27-5-2, 7-0-0
Wallstedt and Askarov have performed pretty similarly honestly despite the numbers. Milwaukee does score .34 goals per game more which helps Askarov’s case, but he’s also seemingly had to battle to keep Milwaukee in more games. He has seen 30+ shots 16 times compared to Wallstedt’s 9, and 40+ shots 4 times compared to Wallstedt’s 1.
Also can we take a moment to appreciate how ridiculous a 34 game stretch of .938 and 1.98 GAA, with a .824 points percentage is. His cheat code WHL season was .940, 1.80 GAA and a .857, he is closing in on dominating men to the same degree he dominated the CHL on a team that’s no where near defensively sound as Everett was.
