60 save performance for this not real person
A quick look at the standings shows the Panthers are the cream of the crop in the Atlantic Division, with teams like the Maple Leafs (57 points) and Bruins (53 points) chasing from behind. And while that’s true, I think this is a notable and marked shift in performance.
Florida has punished every team in its path, but Toronto has been game for quality opponents as well. In Toronto’s 21-game sample, they saw an average margin of victory of +0.52 goals, with a third of those games coming as multi-goal victories.
Compare that to Boston, who are just four points in trail in the standings: the Bruins have an average margin of victory of -0.9 goals per game against strong teams and have four multi-goal victories on a base of 20 games played.
0.948 in the minors this year but 0.824 in four NHL games this season. 13GA, three loses, no wins.
