Jonas Hiller Is Looking Reborn in Calgary
The Anaheim Ducks were loaded at goaltender last season, so Jonas Hiller found himself nudged to the side for the younger Frederik Andersen and John Gibson this season.
The 32-year-old Hiller had a below-average .912 save percentage the past three seasons, not looking anything like the goaltender he was before dealing with vertigo in 2011.
But he has been a godsend for a Flames team that is getting killed in possession. The Flames are 26th in Fenwick close, according to Hockey-Reference.com, but Hiller's .948 save percentage in six starts is the biggest reason why the team is 5-4-2.
Hiller's October performance is as unsustainable as it gets, but posting a .948 in any given month after his past three seasons qualifies as surprising.

Not to mention Hiller's current GAA 1.84 (#5 in NHL) and Save % 0.938 (#4 in NHL).
