  • Stands on head in win
    Bobrovsky posted a 32-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    Advice: The Oilers' offense provided plenty of challenges, but Bobrovsky was in peak form to shut them down throughout the game. This was his second shutout of the playoffs -- he also opened the Eastern Conference Finals by backstopping a 3-0 win over the Rangers. Bobrovsky is 13-5 with a 2.08 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 18 appearances, and it's a virtual guarantee he starts again in Game 2 on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:38 pm
     
  • No help in Game 1 loss
    Skinner allowed two goals on 17 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. The third goal was an empty-netter.

    Advice: Skinner had the lighter workload of the two goalies, but Sergei Bobrovsky stood on his head while the Panthers got a goal in each period. The 25-year-old Skinner has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of his last nine games, going 6-3 in that span. He's now 11-6 with a 2.47 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 17 playoff appearances. Game 2 is in Florida on Monday, and it's likely Skinner will get the start since he can't be blamed for the series-opening loss. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 pm

  • Falls short in Game 6
    Oettinger gave up two goals on 10 shots in Sunday's season-ending 2-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

    Advice: The Oilers struck twice on the power play in the first period and then bunkered down. That left Oettinger with little to do over the final 40 minutes, but the Stars couldn't make a comeback to give their goalie a chance to be a hero. Oettinger's postseason comes to a close with a 10-9 record, a 2.24 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 19 appearances. He'll head into 2024-25 as the Stars' No. 1 goalie while playing for a new contract. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:41 pm

This was just the second time the Stars were able to put up 30-plus shots, but Skinner won both of those contests. He's now 11-5 with a 2.50 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 16 contests. Skinner is almost certain to be between the pipes for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals versus the Panthers on Saturday in Florida. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:26 pm

The Rangers were just two wins away from reaching the Stanley Cup Finals, but they were out-shot in 13 of 16 postseason contests. New York also allowed 524 shots on goal in those 16 games, which highlights just how important Shesterkin was to the team's success.
