In Jaroslav Halak‘s first year with the New York Islanders he was fantastic. He set the franchise record for most wins in a season (38) and he also holds the record for the most consecutive wins (11). He’s been a good addition to the Islanders in his two years here.
Sports Illustrated ranked the top 30 starting goalies in the NHL. Halak fell right in the middle of the pack at 15. This is fitting for him.
Halak is a guy you can win with but he’s not someone who will be looked at as a premiere goalie in the league.
