As NHL training camps approach, several intriguing goalie battles are heating up, particularly spotlighting key players from various teams. One of the most notable is the competition between Joonas Korpisalo and Jonathan Quick on the Los Angeles Kings.

Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Lightning are set to witness a fierce contest between Jonas Johansson and the returning Andrei Vasilevskiy. As Vasilevskiy looks to reclaim his position after injury, Johansson will be eager to impress and potentially secure a mainstay role as a reliable backup.
The Carolina Hurricanes are also in the mix, with a battle heating up between Antti Raanta and Pyotr Kochetkov. Raanta, known for his experience, faces a challenge from Kochetkov, who has shown flashes of brilliance and promises an exciting showdown as each strives to earn their place in the lineup.
Lastly, the vacuum left by departing goalie in Chicago presents a chance for Petr Mrázek to solidify his position. Competing against emerging talent, Mrázek will need to deliver consistent performances to impress the coaching staff and fans alike, making this a pivotal camp for him.
