Jordan Binnington, 25. St. Louis Blues

Jordan Binnington made his NHL debut on the US league on 7th of January and has a save percentage of 0.927 and made five shutouts in the 32 games he played in. This allowed the Blues to return to the play-offs after not making it that far the previous year. His score is 24-5-1 and has a 1.89 goals-against average while being ranked fourth in save percentage amongst the goalies who have played at least ten games.

Andrei Vasilevskiy, 24. Tampa Bay Lightning

Andrei Vasilevskiy is a Russian born player who already had won his first Stanley Cup by the time he turned 21. He was the first goalie to be selected during the 2012 NHL Draft with Tampa Bay using their 19th pick to draft him. He also previously played for the Russian National Team in the World Under-18 Championships.

Marc-Andre Fleury, 34. Vegas Golden Knights

Marc-Andre Fleury was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins as the number 1 pick during the 2003 Draft. He became one of three goalies in League history to be chosen first. During his time at the Penguins, he helped the team appear in the Stanley Cup Final three times and won the championship twice.

Tuukka Rask, 32. Boston Bruins

Tuukka Rask is a Finnish-born player who has won the Stanley Cup and the Vezina Trophy – two of the most prestigious NHL prizes. A Boston researcher who moved to the Teita Hills of Kenya named a new breed of insects after Rask, honouring his home team and the player himself.

Ben Bishop, 32. Dallas Stars

Ben Bishop was picked in the third round in the 2005 NHL Draft and has since then consistently worked hard to become one of the NHL’s best goalies. He has a 6-foot-7 frame which allows him to take up a sizeable presence in front of the goal. He is also exceptional with a puck, able to set up breakouts by himself.
