Colorado Avalanche goalie Calvin Pickard‘s statistics are finally catching up with the rest of the team’s. After starting 14 games, Pickard is now one game under 500 at 6-7-1 after the other night’s loss.
Pickard’s statistics have long been better than Semyon Varlamov‘s, and they still are a little better. Varlamov’s goals against average is 3.33, while Pickard’s is 2.95. Varly’s save percentage is .901 to Picks’ .903.
The gap used to be wider, though. A large part of that reason is Varlamov usually gets more playing time as the starting goalie.
