from Sam McCaig of The Hockey News,

Here’s my ranking of the NHL’s 31 starting goalies entering the 2018-19 season:

1. Sergei Bobrovsky, Columbus Blue Jackets: Consistently one of the very best goalies in the league, he’s in his prime on a hardworking, defensively solid team that’s trending up.

2. Andrei Vasilevskiy, Tampa Bay Lightning: He had the Vezina Trophy in his sights last season before running out of steam down the stretch. Still, he’s a great young goalie on a great young team.

3. Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets: The Jets-Bolts showdown in the 2019 Stanley Cup final is gonna be something to see.
