Below is a statistical look at the six Capitals goaltending prospects.  They are ranked in order of save percentage.  Below each player is the average save percentage within each player’s league (top 10 goaltenders).  This method was used to see how each player had excelled this season within his own league. Green indicates above the average, grey is average, and red indicates below the league average of top goalies within each league.

Rastislav Stana (Age: 24) “Ratty” though battled through a shoulder injury during the AHL All-Star competition and saw minimal action for the Portland Pirates down the stretch.  He did get some playoff experience but his save percentage was not as spectacular as the regular season in his three games played (.907).  Nonetheless, Stana was the most impressive Caps goalie prospect this season finishing above the AHL average of top ten goalies in the league in save percentage.

Maxime Ouellet (Age: 22) Ouellet had another good season at the AHL level, posting an impressive 10 shutouts.  His save percentage on the season was .930, which was similar to the average of the top ten goalies in the AHL.  His save percentage was even stronger in the playoffs, .942, and thus finished the season very strong. 

Justin Eddy (Age: 23) Eddy split most of the season with fellow goalie Jamie Holden at Quinnipiac.  His save percentage was very impressive over the course of the season at .924.  Though when stacked against the top ten NCAA goaltenders this season he is below the mark.  This past season, in his three starts against Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio State, he posted a 1.99 goals against average and a .961 save percentage. 

Maxime Daigneault  (Age: 20) “Max II” finished his fifth season in the QMHJL in modest form maintaining a .912 save percentage.  His average was the norm amongst the top ten goalies in his league this season (.911). Despite his team losing in the first round, it was not due to lack of trying.  Daigneault was impressive in his 7 games, in which he had a strong .931 save percentage and a goals against average of 2.31 (which was better than NHL first overall pick Marc-Andre Fleury).

Robert Müller (Age: 23) Müller once again competed overseas in the German Elite League.  The top ten goalies in the DEL performed far better than Müller during the regular season with a difference of .20 versus the rest of the league. His team, the Krefold Pinguine, also did not make it into post-season play.

Rob Gherson  (Age: 20) OHL goalie Rob Gherson did not have a spectacular regular season, but turned it on in the playoffs.  His .920 save percentage eclipsed his poor .899 save percentage in 44 games this past season.  When compared to the rest of the OHL’s top goalies this season he was a dreadful .18 below the average.
