Hebert Is No Sitting Duck

Share

How hot is goalie Guy Hebert? No, he didn’t record three consecutive shutouts like Phoenix’s Nikolai Khabibulin. But over a longer stretch, it’s hard to beat Hebert, who cracked the NHL leaderboard for save percentage Monday, making his season debut in a tie for fifth at .921. Chicago’s Jeff Hackett leads the NHL with a .931 mark.

Throw out the first month of the season--the Ducks still wish they could--and nobody has a higher save percentage than Hebert. In the past five games, Hebert has faced 170 shots and allowed seven goals (.959).
