Goaltending Depth Steps Up
With the top goaltender out for the season, Dylan Garand has gone 4-2-1 with a 1.85 goals-against average and.929 save percentage. The backup has delivered timely saves and kept the club in position to win each night. Fans have responded by chanting his name during home games, adding to the energetic atmosphere that has supported the early success.
