Calgary Flames' Bright Spot: Cooley's Stellar Saves
22 Nov
Summary
- Devin Cooley leads NHL goalies with .935 save percentage.
- Cooley has a 1-2-1 record but exceptional save percentage.
- He is a 28-year-old with limited prior NHL experience.
The Calgary Flames are currently facing significant challenges, sitting at the bottom of the NHL standings. Amidst this difficult period, goaltender Devin Cooley has become an unexpected standout performer.
Cooley, who spent last season in the AHL, has surpassed expectations to secure the backup job. His recent play has been remarkable, leading all NHL goaltenders with at least six games played with a .935 save percentage and a 1.80 goals-against average, significantly outperforming initial doubts about the team needing a veteran backup.
This strong performance is particularly impressive given Cooley's limited prior NHL experience. The 28-year-old native of Los Gatos, California, has demonstrated remarkable consistency, maintaining a save percentage of .921 or higher in five of his six appearances this season, offering a bright spot for the struggling Flames.
