This isn’t just going to be a highlight reel of great games the Minnesota Wild have played this year. We’ll recognize the individual performances of players. First, we’re going to start with Alex Stalock, who as of late, has been playing great in net. South St. Paul’s own might be the Energizer Bunny in net, but this season he has shown another level of battle and grit.

Stalock has already well surpassed his career-high in games played in a season (sits at 38 right now, the previous high was 28), but he’s also posted a 20 win season, a .910 save percentage, a 2.67 GAA which is his third-best in seasons where he played more than 20 games and has 4 shutouts this season.

He looks confident in net, he plays the puck exceptionally well, and has helped put Minnesota back into contention down the stretch. In the 18 games he has played since the new year, he’s playing at .920 save percentage and a 2.33 GAA pace. It appears right now, it’s his net to lose, and the Wild will get to the playoffs on his back. (stats provided by hockeyreference.com)

Well.

Maybe with some help from another workhorse as well.
