1972-73 OPC #169 “Ken Hodge in Action” goalie depicted?

Does anyone know if the goalie in this photo is Ed Johnston or Gerry Cheevers? I don’t think I see the stitch marks on the mask so was thinking it’s Johnston. Thanks for the help!

(New poster and had issues trying to upload picture, sorry for not including.)

    I think that it has to be Johnston because I looked and I also could not clearly see any of the stitches on the mask. I looked at several pictures and enlarged them and it really would be hard to say that it could be Cheevers. I grew up in Mass and was a big BlackHawk fan but I was also a big fan of Cheevers.

    Can not get a very clear picture when you enlarge. I was wondering if there was any time if and when did Cheevers every wear a different mask, even temporary . I believe it is Johnston.

    Eddie Johnston facemask had smaller eye opening so I think it's him.
