After Jaroslave Halak gave the Habs back to back shutouts, the question about which goaltenders the number 1 goalie it was obviously Halak since on a constant bases Halak has been able to get Montreal wins.Just look back at their 6 game win streak. But with Halak getting back to back shutouts, he says every players deserves credit.“I think everyone deserves credit for these two shutouts,” said Halak. “We just played two tough games and the guys didn’t give the Flyers or the Sabres any good scoring chances. They were constantly blocking shots; they didn’t give them anything.”
"Having your goalie play the way Jaro is right now is big for all of us but especially for a defenseman,” explained Ryan O’Byrne.“Knowing how strong he’s been back there allows us to just make plays and not worry about him making saves. His confidence has seeped into all of our games I think.At this time of year strong goaltending can transform a team.A team with struggling goalies can’t help but walk on egg shells out there and seeing your goalie give up weak goals is a total momentum killer. All I know is we’ve got a brick wall back there right now and we’re all feeding off of that. ” Jaroslave Halak will get the start tomorrow night against the Islanders.
