Craig Anderson rises to the top.
The Ottawa Senators netminder has been the best in the league since returning from a leave of absence on Feb. 11.
In that stretch, Anderson has appeared in eight contests, owning the best save rate among goaltenders with as many starts.
| Rank | Goalie | Starts | Record | GAA | SV% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Craig Anderson | 8 | 6-2-0 | 1.75 | .946 |
| 2 | Carey Price | 8 | 5-3-0 | 1.72 | .940 |
| 3 | Cory Schneider | 9 | 2-5-2 | 2.56 | .924 |
| 4 | Frederik Anderson | 8 | 2-3-3 | 2.46 | .921 |
| 5 | Robin Lehner | 10 | 5-3-2 | 2.68 | .920 |
The veteran netminder took a leave of absence earlier this season to be with his ill wife. In 26 games, he has posted a 17-8-1 record with a .930 save percentage.
