The Philadelphia Flyers have gone through quite a few goalies so far this season and more than one of the netminders have honoured Gritty in one way or another on their mask. While the orange furry mascot is a hit within the Flyers community and throughout the entire league, he’s not the only NHL mascot who knows how to steal a show or two.
The Nashville Predators’ mascot, Gnash, has the second most followers out of all the NHL mascots with just over 51,000 followers, and it turns out he’s a hit among the players, as well.
Famous goalie mask artist David Gunnarsson teamed up with Predators goalie Juuse Saros to design the 23-year-old’s latest mask and it’s pretty much just a giant tribute to Gnash.
Saros has started 22 of the 26 games he’s appeared in and is 14-8-2 with two shutouts, a 2.63 goals against average and a .916 save percentage in that span.
