Ranking the NHL's goalie tandems from 1 to 32: Why the Islanders reign supreme

Ranking the NHL's goaltending tandems used to be a predictable process: Pencil in the Boston Bruins, Vegas Golden Knights, Dallas Stars and whoever the Tampa Bay Lightning have playing with Andrei Vasilevskiy at the top, and then figure out the rest.
