1. Jake Oettinger - Boston University (H-EAST)
Oettinger fits the mold of the modern NHL starting goaltender: a big, athletic netminder who is technically sound. He moves around his crease with ease and is particularly strong down low, covering off the bottom half of the net well. Oettinger is coming off a strong freshman season with Boston University, going 21-11-3 with a 2.11 GAA and a .927 save percentage.
2. Keith Petruzzelli - Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL)
The 6-foot-6, 174-lb., Petruzelli had 22 wins in his 2016-17 season with the Lumberjacks, which ranked first among all rookie netminders in the USHL. His .918 save percentage also led all USHL rookies. Thanks to his size and strong positioning, Petruzzelli covers the top and the bottom of the net extremely well. He plays with poise, never looking rattled no matter the situation.
