The most thankless job amongst NHL goaltenders is the backup role to Andrei Vasilevskiy, which is the role McElhinney has filled each of the past two seasons. He saw 30 games worth of action over those two years, managing a 12-13-5 record along with a 2.97 GAA and an .895 save percentage. McElhinney, now 38 years of age, remains unsigned deep into free agency and it wouldn't be surprising if he ultimately decided to hang up his skates. If he does walk away, McElhinney will have stepped aside as a back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion.
