Jimmy Howard 2018-19 Mask

Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings (born March 26, 1984 in Syracuse, NY.)

Artist: Probably Ray Bishop of Bishop Designs (will verify when I can)





The idea for Jimmy Howard’s mask my oldest son Lowe came up with. How about transform the whole mask into a Christmas gift. And the gift is a bit opened and out comes a very cool buddy with a red nose.

Joonas Korpisalo of the Columbus Blue Jackets (born April 28, 1994 in Pori, Finland.)

Curtis McElhinney 2018-19 Mask

Curtis McElhinney of the Carolina Hurricanes (born May 23, 1983 in London, ON.)

Artist: David Leroux of DielAirBrush

McElhinney started wearing this all white mask in mid-February:






His first painted mask for Carolina was this one:













When first traded to Carolina, McElhinney was wearing a mask covered in vinyls. :













David Rittich 2018-19 Mask

David Rittich of the Calgary Flames (born August 19, 1992 in Jihlava, Czech Republic.)

Tuukka Rask 2018-19 Mask

Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins (born March 10, 1987 in Savonlinna, Finland.)

Artist: Ron Slater of Slater Lettering and Graphics (if this mask is the same as the previous 2 seasons)

Rask doesn't change his masks much, if at all. But changes could be so slight, I'm not catching them. So far his mask looks like the one he wore the last 2 seasons.
