Oscar Dansk
When general manager George McPhee signed Oscar Dansk in the offseason, I didn’t know what to expect. I knew he had a ton of potential as a second-round pick in 2012, but his performance in the minor levels haven’t been up to par. However, in the limited playing time he got, Dansk was sensational.
In four games played, Dansk went undefeated going 3-0-0 with a 1.76 GAA, a .946 save percentage and one shutout. Dansk is a battler in net and did a fantastic job before injuring himself against the Islanders in Brooklyn. In fact, the Stockholm, Sweden native did so well, he won the NHL second star of the week ending on October 30th.
I wish I could give him a better grade, but with only four games played, it’s tough to give him a high degree. But he already has shattered his expectations this year as the Golden Knights third-string goalie.
Grade: B
