This win streak has been incredibly impressive and Korpi has been amazing. But we have to admit the back-up goalie situation is a 10,000 lb. pink elephant in the room.
I heard some analytics guys the other day saying that a team needs at least 20-30 pts. out of their back up to be successful in the season and playoffs. Elvis has 3 points in 9 games. He's the "backup", but barring back to back games, he literally isn't even an option right now. I am not sure how sustainable this is...
Korpi can ride out December in all probability, but we have 6 games in 10 nights to start 2020, including a road trip to Boston and a 4-game West Coast swing. Playing Elvis is almost like a forfeit at this point, but if he doesn't play he won't improve. Something has to give at some point.
