Ondrej Pavelec faced a great deal of rubber over the course of this season.

With the regular season close to being over, he currently sits second behind only Buffalo's Ryan Miller in shots against at a whopping total of 1,221. He also places second with 1,106 saves, but unfortunately he has the distinction of allowing the most goals this campaign with 115 pucks getting behind him and into the net. His .906 save percentage and a 2.77 GAA will concern fantasy owners, but coach Claude Noel has the luxury of not worrying about Pavelec's statistical prowess. He's still developing, according to Noel, and perhaps his numbers will get better along with that. The bottom line is the Jets need him to improve if they want to be a playoff team.

Ondrej Pavelec permitted four goals on 40 shots in a 5-3 loss to Washington Tuesday night with the Southeast Division title on the line.

Pavelec had accumulated a 6-0-1 record entering Tuesday's meeting with the Capitals, while enjoying some spectacular performances over that stretch. The Jets can still qualify for the postseason though and he'll be counted on to rebound in his next start.
Apr 23 - 9:49 PM

Ondrej Pavelec is expected to get the starting turn against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.

Pavelec will need to be on his "A" game Tuesday night. The Jets are only one point behind the Capitals in the Southeast Division but have played one more game than Washington. Winnipeg needs to win Tuesday to keep its playoff hopes afloat.
Apr 23 - 6:36 PM

Ondrej Pavelec turned aside 24 of 25 shots in a 2-1 win over the Sabres Monday night.

Starting Pavelec on any given night is always an adventure for fantasy owners. Some nights he provides the Jets and fantasy owners with legitimate number one goaltending and on other nights he leaves a lot to be desired. Pavelec is far too inconsistent to be counted on as more than a fill-in starter in deeper formats. However, he is still the clear frontrunner in Winnipeg and is worthy of a roster stash for favorable matchups.
Apr 22 - 9:46 PM

Ondrej Pavelec saved 29 of 33 shots in a 5-4 shootout defeat Saturday.

Pavelec allowed two goals in three shootout attempts. That ended his five-game winning streak and dropped his record to 20-18-3 in 2013.
Apr 20 - 6:04 PM

You can bet that Ondrej Pavelec will be between the pipes Saturday afternoon against the Islanders.

This is a huge game for both teams and we have not doubt that barring an injury Pavelec will be the starter.
Apr 20 - 10:10 AM

Ondrej Pavelec allowed three goals on 27 shots Thursday, but still earned a win as the Jets outscored Carolina by a count of 4-3.

Pavelec's performance this season hasn't been drastically different than in the prior two years, which is to say he's been mediocre at best. There are certainly worse options around the NHL, but Pavelec is below the median in terms of his standing in the league.
Apr 18 - 11:26 PM

Ondrej Pavelec wasn't at his best in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Tampa Bay, but he earned his 19th win with 24 saves.

Winnipeg blew a 3-1 lead in the third period, but they got two important points to their playoff hunt by winning in the shootout. Pavelec has been very good of late while helping the Jets earn four straight victories. He has a .906 save percentage and a 2.75 GAA on the year.
Apr 16 - 11:18 PM

Ondrej Pavelec is expected to get the start Tuesday night.

Pavelec and the Jets haven't played since April 11 when the 6-foot-3 Pavelec stopped 25 of 27 shots in a 7-2 win. Pavelec almost never sits out a game and with the Jets streaking, he's worth a look for goalie-needy owners.
Apr 16 - 4:07 PM

Ondrej Pavelec turned aside 25 of 27 shots in a 7-2 win Thursday.

Pavelec allowed two goals on nine shots in the first period, but was otherwise perfect. He was won three straight starts, bringing his record up to 18-18-2 this season.
Apr 11 - 11:05 PM

Ondrej Pavelec's 2,121:57 of ice time is the second-most among NHL goaltenders this season.

He trails only Nashville's Pekke Rinne in that category and isn't likely to get much, if any, rest down the stretch as the Jets try to grab a playoff spot. "It doesn't concern me too much with him because I think he's managed it well," said coach Claude Noel. "(Goaltending coach) Wade Flaherty has helped him through that. He's a young guy. If he was older as an athlete I think it would be tougher. But I think it's good for him and I think he's enjoying it. He views this a challenge and is ready to take this step. I talked to him this morning and he feels good. He goes out for the optionals (practices), he's trying to figure ways to manage it. He has logged a lot of time, but his play has been really good. It's hard to argue with the way he's played."
Apr 11 - 9:17 AM

Ondrej Pavelec made 29 saves in a 4-1 win over Buffalo Tuesday night.

He has won straight games in impressive fashion following four consecutive losses in disappointing outings. Starting Pavelec on any given night is always an adventure for fantasy owners because you never know which version of him will show up.
Apr 9 - 11:02 PM

Ondrej Pavelec is expected to be in goal against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

Pavelec stopped 30 of 31 shots to win his last start, which stopped a three-game skid that saw the Jets' netminder allow four goals in each loss. Pavelec remains a consistent starter but he's too streaky to be trusted in most formats.
Apr 9 - 3:51 PM

Ondrej Pavelec saved 30 of 31 shots in a 4-1 victory Saturday.

The Jets were out shot 13-4 in the first period, but Pavelec didn't allow the deficit to exceed one goal. He snapped a four-game losing streak, bringing his record up to 16-18-2.
