<\/p>\n
Lukas Dostal<\/a> <\/p>\n Dostal received a new mask just in time for the postseason, one full of the Ducks’ logos and colors.<\/p>\n Ville Husso<\/a><\/p>\n Husso pays tribute to Guy Hebert and Teemu Selanne, two Ducks legends who appear on opposite sides of his lid.<\/p>\n Jeremy Swayman<\/a> <\/p>\n Though Swayman’s mask features nods to Boston like the Bunker Hill Monument and a retro Bruins logo, it’s the personal touches that stand out most. Alaska, his home state, his niece’s handprint and the No. 1 on the chin — the only number he has worn in the NHL — highlight that connection.<\/p>\n Joonas Korpisalo<\/a> <\/p>\n Korpisalo might have the most unique details on his lid. First, there’s a polar bear rocking a Bruins jersey on one side and the old Boston Garden on the other. Hidden on the back, though, are Lightning McQueen and Cruz Ramirez from the movie “Cars 3,” a nod to Korpisalo’s son, who loves the film series.<\/p>\n Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen<\/a> <\/p>\n Designed by David Gunnarsson, Luukkonen’s mask continues his buffalo rage theme with this new lid.<\/p>\n Alex Lyon<\/a> <\/p>\n Lyon pays homage to legendary Sabres goalie Dominik Haek, who appears on both sides of his mask.<\/p>\n Brandon Bussi<\/a> <\/p>\n There’s a special meaning to Bussi’s lid, as it’s a tribute to his younger brother<\/a>, who is autistic. Also included is the Canes’ “Struttin’ Stormy” logo in a neat detail.<\/p>\n Frederik Andersen<\/a> <\/p>\n No surprise here — the Lego Viking mask of Andersen, who hails from Denmark, is among the best.<\/p>\n Colorado Avalanche<\/p>\n Scott Wedgewood <\/p>\n Wedgewood always is in the running for most fun designs in the league, and this season is no different. One of them follows a “Dumb and Dumber” theme with fellow goalie Mackenzie Blackwood. The other includes Wedgewood’s two daughters as princesses going down the Rocky Mountains on snow tubes with the family’s two dogs next to them.<\/p>\n Mackenzie Blackwood <\/p>\n A monster appears on the top of this lid for Blackwood, which is inspired by the Patrick Roy Avalanche era.<\/p>\n Jake Oettinger<\/a> <\/p>\n Oettinger’s mask includes a screaming animal on the top with bulging eyes and sharp fangs.<\/p>\n Casey DeSmith<\/a> <\/p>\n The snake theme of DeSmith’s look includes a nod to Gary De’Snake from “Zootopia 2,” who is featured on the design.<\/p>\n Edmonton Oilers<\/p>\n Connor Ingram<\/a> <\/p>\n Ingram is in the running for simplest design, but as long as it gets the job done, nothing else matters.<\/p>\n Tristan Jarry <\/p>\n It’s two fun looks for Jarry, with Tom and Jerry and his dogs included in both. One of them notably includes Tom dangling fish bones above his dog, who looks up with a frown.<\/p>\n Darcy Kuemper<\/a> <\/p>\n Playing to the Kings’ namesake, Kuemper’s lid includes plenty of crowns.<\/p>\n Anton Forsberg<\/a> <\/p>\n Forsberg’s mask follows a City of Angels theme with the downtown Los Angeles skyline, but there’s also a nod to Kings legends Wayne Gretzky and Rogie Vachon.<\/p>\n Filip Gustavsson<\/a> <\/p>\n The home helmet for Gustavsson boasts a matte colorway with the ice fisher on one side and pond hockey goalies on the other. His road lid includes more white to match the jerseys with elements trying to replicate what “the wild is really like,” he explained.<\/p>\n Jesper Wallstedt<\/a> <\/p>\n Pine trees are a staple of Minnesota, and Wallstedt leans into that element for his look.<\/p>\n Montreal Canadiens<\/p>\n Sam Montembeault <\/a><\/p>\n There might not be a more menacing mask than Montembeault’s, which includes snakes and skeletons scattered throughout for an intimidating design.<\/p>\n Jakub Dobes <\/p>\n Dobes is in the running for the most unique lid — the paint changes colors in subzero temperatures, as displayed by the artist.<\/p>\n Linus Ullmark<\/a> <\/p>\n Ullmark wanted a clean white mask for road games and settled on one with a dragon-inspired look full of neat details. Ullmark said it’s one of the favorite masks he has had in his career.<\/p>\n Leevi Merilainen <\/a><\/p>\n Design elements reminiscent of the movie “Gladiator” adorn both sides of the lid, living up to the Senators theme.<\/p>\n Samuel Ersson<\/a> <\/p>\n Ersson’s mask boasts gargoyles similar to the sculptures that guarded old buildings in Philadelphia, but what steals the show is a neat tribute to legendary Flyers goalie Bernie Parent, who died in September.<\/p>\n Dan Vladar<\/a> <\/p>\n A fan of the bands Metallica and Iron Maiden, Vladar pays homage to them with a unique lid.<\/p>\n Stuart Skinner<\/a> <\/p>\n Traded to the Penguins midseason, Skinner leans into a Pittsburgh-centric theme with elements including the city’s skyline and Three Sisters.<\/p>\n Arturs Silovs<\/a> <\/p>\n Silovs keeps it simple with a “Man of Steel” theme for his mask, creating a clever look.<\/p>\n Andrei Vasilevskiy<\/a> <\/p>\n Vasilevskiy’s lid is a “Gzhel” style design, inspired by the blue and white ceramics produced in the Gzhel village near Moscow.<\/p>\n Jonas Johansson<\/a> <\/p>\n Pirates are often a theme of Johansson’s masks, and this helmet has a menacing one on the side.<\/p>\n Karel Vejmelka<\/a> <\/p>\n Vejmelka’s lid has a retro theme with mountains all over the design.<\/p>\n Vitek Vanecek<\/a> <\/p>\n Dark mammoth tusks pop out alongside mountain peaks on Vanecek’s mask.<\/p>\n
