The Calgary Flames' recent renaissance has been authored in large part by the goaltending of (former?) career backup Chad Johnson. So far this year the 30-year-old has started 16 games, winning 11 of them while stopping 93.1% of the shots he's faced.
That elite level of goaltending has helped the Flames dig themselves out of a very deep hole.
