  • Stellar performance in loss
    Bobrovsky made 28 saves on 30 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 2.

    Advice: Bobrovsky was spectacular in Friday's loss but he was outdueled in net by New York's Igor Shesterkin. Surprisingly, Bobrovsky hadn't faced at least 30 shots since Game 5 of Florida's first-round series against Tampa Bay. The 35-year-old netminder also hasn't allowed more than two goals past him in seven consecutive contests. Bob is locked in at the right time, and he'll have a chance to bounce back in Game 3 on Sunday afternoon. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:10 pm
     
  • Avoids consecutive losses
    Shesterkin turned aside 26 of 27 shots on goal in Friday's 2-1 overtime win against Florida in Game 2.

    Advice: It was a goaltending duel at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, and Shesterkin emerged victorious to help the Rangers avoid a two-game deficit in the series. Prior to the win Friday night, Shesterkin allowed at least two goals in eight consecutive appearances, so perhaps this type of performance will serve as a confidence booster for the netminder and his team going forward. The 28-year-old is 9-3 with a 2.22 GAA and .928 save percentage so far during the postseason. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:55 pm
     
  • Starting between the pipes
    Shesterkin is expected to tend the twine at home versus the Panthers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday.

    Advice: Shesterkin put together a solid performance in Game 1 on Wednesday, stopping 24 of 26 shots (.923 save percentage), but he was outdueled by opposing backstop Sergei Bobrovsky, who put together a 24-save shutout performance. In the postseason, the 28-year-old Shesterkin is 4-2 at home to go with a 2.34 GAA and .923 save percentage. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:30 am
     
  • Set to start Friday
    Bobrovsky is slated to guard the cage on the road versus the Rangers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday.

    Advice: Bobrovsky is coming off a 24-save shutout victory over New York in Game 1on Wednesday, his seventh shutout of the year and his first in the postseason.

  • Loses Game 1 in double-overtime
    Oettinger stopped 35 of 38 shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

    Advice: Oettinger was strong in the contest, but the Oilers attacked quickly and scored on a Connor McDavid goal 32 seconds into the second overtime. This was just the fifth time in 14 playoff outings Oettinger has allowed three or more goals. The Stars have dropped Game 1 of their last seven playoff series, so this is not a reason for concern just yet, but they'll need Oettinger at his best in Saturday's Game 2 to even it up.

  • Steady in Game 1 win
    Skinner stopped 31 of 33 shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

    Advice: Skinner didn't face more than 24 shots in any of his five appearances in the second round versus the Canucks, but the Stars predictably were more active. The 25-year-old was up to the challenge, earning his third straight win. He's allowed just five goals in that span. Skinner's back in the No. 1 job for the Oilers, so he should be expected to start Game 2 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:55 pm
     
  • No offensive support in loss
    Shesterkin made 24 saves on 26 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Advice: It was a rare night in which Shesterkin wasn't at the top of his game, and he was outdueled in net by Florida's Sergei Bobrovsky. It was Shesterkin's third loss in his last four starts. Wednesday's loss also marks the eighth game in a row that the 28-year-old netminder has allowed at least two goals to get past him. Shesterkin has a record of 8-3 with a 2.37 GAA and a .923 save percentage so far during the postseason. The goaltender will attempt to bounce back and help the Rangers even up the series in Game 2 on Friday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:38 am
