Ottawa Senators. ROBIN LEHNER. B+. Robin’s only poor game came against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but other than that he’s been great. Lehner still has a winning record and good numbers with a .915sv% and 2.85GAA. Bob McKenzie just called Ottawa’s duo the best in the league and Robin Lehner is a big piece of that success.. #40 G
A+. Craig Anderson has arguably been the best NHL goaltender to start the 14-15 season. We are seeing what we saw back in 12-13 from Anderson and although his goaltending may be “unsustainable” he has been the key to Ottawa’s limited success this season. Anderson is posting a /932 sv% and has saved 400 shots in 12 games this year. Anderson and Lehner will continue to split starts and if Ottawa is able to make the playoffs, Anderson will be their key to success. .. #41 G. Ottawa Senators. CRAIG ANDERSON
