I've been very impressed with Nilsson.

Halak/Greiss, which ever is considered the backup in Brooklyn
Michal Neuvirth

I don't know why Halak has been given so many chances tbh

 

[Emerz]

Stats wise Anton Khudobin is right now.

7-0-2 .932 and 2.22 GAA

 

[duxfan1101]

Ryan Miller has a 2.06 GAA and a .935 SV%, the team just doesn't score when he's in net.

 

[WillTheThrill]

Reimer or Miller.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

This season it has to be Kuemper, hasn't lost in regulation, .944, 1.72 GAA.

In general, I'd say Neuvirth, Ryan Miller.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Halak/Greiss, which ever is considered the backup in Brooklyn
Michal Neuvirth
Philipp Gubauer

Those are the top 3 IMO.

greiss is so much better than halak it isn't even funny. greiss isn't a backup, halak isn't a good one.

 

[illpucks]

How about Jarry?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Dell is 4-3-1 with a .933 and 1.93 GAA

Was .931 and 2.00 last year.

[ManofSteel55]

I've been very impressed with Nilsson.

He's streaky. When he's on, he's one of the best backups. When he's off, look out.

 

[MBTendy]

Miller or Anton. Both have been superb.

 

[Foppberg]

Khudobin. Or Miller.

 

[Dano85]

[Martin Skoula]

The best goaltender who happens to be a backup this year, or the best backup goaltender?

Are you looking for a guy who has the skill to steal you games sometimes or a guy who can come in cold and play consistently average in whatever situation you put him in?
