Every NHL season sees several young or inexperienced goaltenders garner attention for their stellar play. The 2020-21 campaign is no different, as a handful of young netminders are earning their share of the spotlight.
Some, such as the Minnesota Wild's Kaapo Kahkonen, are enjoying a solid rookie season. Others, like the Florida Panthers' Chris Driedger, are making the most of their opportunity after several years shuttling back and forth between the NHL and the minors.
Every goaltender on this list is playing a key role in their respective team's performance this season. Those efforts could become springboards toward long and successful big-league careers.
