The Athletic ranked the teams best goalie masks in the league.

Markstrom wins it finishing in first place.

Granger: Markstrom always seems to have great mask designs, and this one is his crème de la crème. I love everything about this haunting mask, but a less-obvious detail that really completes the look are the flame-painted elastic straps. If they were the usual white, cotton elastic straps, it would detract from the overall look. Colored orange and red, they blend right into the best mask in the NHL.

Gentille: That eye for detail is why you’re running the show. To me, this is the perfect blend of taking a classic design — something spooky with an open mouth over the actual mask — and modernizing/individualizing it.

Goldman: The design is excellent and so are the details. Calgary’s home, away, and alternates (Blasty, not that unfinished reverse retro) are some of the nicest in the league. And there’s so much potential for a goalie mask to match because it’s not the busiest of jerseys, and this just nails it.
