Greiss is on a serious heater, going 5-0-1 in his last six starts, stopping 185-of-188 shots in the process while Lehner has been one of the top goalies of the past two months, going 13-3-1 in his last 17 games with a 1.62 GAA and a .943 SV% over that span.
Even with gaudy numbers, the two goalies are quick to pass along the praise, citing the Isles stingy team structure.
"The boys make me look good out there," Greiss said. "Everybody is battling hard, there are a lot of blocked shots. No rebounds. It helps me a lot."
"It's nice to get recognition, but it's a team thing really because we're all playing incredible defense everyone is helping out," Lehner said after being named the second star of January.
It's unusual to see two goalies on the same team post nearly identical numbers and be atop the NHL leaderboards. Both goalies have 17 wins this season, marking just the second time in 15 years that two Isles goalies have hit the 17-win mark. Greiss was a part of that platoon as well, as he won 23 games to Jaroslav Halak's 18 in 2015-16.
Goalies don't always have the easiest time sharing a net, but that hasn't been the case between Lehner and Greiss who've formed a partnership this season. They push each other in practice and by elevating their games individually, they have forced the other to do the same.
