Goaltending might be the most volatile position to monitor in the NHL. There are nights where backups play like Vezina contenders, and nights where generational talents let in five goals on seven shots.
It's the most unpredictable position in the NHL, for certain -- and one the Detroit Red Wings have tried to address for a long, long time.
Since Jimmy Howard retired in 2021, the Red Wings have started 14 goaltenders: Jonathan Bernier, Thomas Greiss, Calvin Pickard, Alex Nedeljkovic, Magnus Hellberg, Ville Husso, Alex Lyon, Michael Hutchinson, Cam Talbot, Petr Mrazek, Sebastian Cossa, John Gibson, Daniil Tarasov and, finally, Michal Postava.
