Helleybuyck boasts a save percentage of .923 that has helped keep Winnipeg firmly in the hunt for the postseason, while he also ranks top five in goals saved above average (25.40) and goals against percentage (81).
Sorokin, meanwhile, possesses a slightly better save percentage of .924, and ranks slightly higher in goals saved above average and goals against percentage as the New York Islanders target the postseason.

The top five is rounded out by +1000 Jake Oettinger of the Dallas Stars and +1600 Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers.
