In the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs, there have been 14 shutouts. Trent Miner of the Colorado Eagles has four of them. What’s crazier is that Miner has only started seven playoff games, so even with dominant goaltending around the American Hockey League, he’s stood out. 

Miner shutout the Coachella Valley Firebirds in Game One of the Pacific Division Final with a 20-save performance to lead the Eagles to a 3-0 victory. His save percentage (SV%) is .958 and his goals-against average (GAA) is a mind-boggling 0.95 in the playoffs. 

It’s the year of the goaltender in the AHL, certainly during the playoffs. Yet, Miner is leading the way and has put the Eagles on an impressive run so far.
