Yeah - keep playing Hutch while he's hot. You have a 0.910 goalie to fall back on if needed. We seem to be in a good position there for the next dozen games.
Wanted to reply to this post in the goaltender thread, its from last nights PGT.
This is a false premise and also is part of a false narrative, on purpose I would wager.
First, Pavelec is 909 this year. Not 910.
Second, Pavelec is 906 career. Not 910.
Third, the only reason Pavelec hasn't regressed this season to below 906 already is because Hutchinson has won the starting job from him, and relegated Pavelec to what he should have been last 2 years: an overpaid backup. Look at Pavelecs save % on a graph and there's plenty of evidence had Pavelec had to play 60+ games this year he'd be slumming it up on page 3 of goaltenders stats again on NHL.com. I mean, christ sake, I haven't done the math but 20 of his last starts this year he has to be below 900 right?
We are in a good position not because of Pavelec, but because of our skaters and Hutchinson. Period. Buy this guy out in the off season or find some sucker team to trade him too.
