The NHL is witnessing a growing trend of teams using goalie tandems, with 77 goalies starting at least 10 games last season. The focus on tandem goaltending, influenced by teams like Vegas and Boston, is affecting goalie usage and winning percentages. This trend is a significant topic in the NHL, with teams increasingly leaning towards this strategy, even carrying three goalies for an entire season.

Really good stuff here on the evolution of goaltending. Feels like every year teams are using more and more, especially this year with several carrying three all season. https://t.co/6L7Juo321x
