Each night during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan provides his Post 2 Post rankings for every goaltender in action. Each goaltender will receive a score out of five based on their performance.

 

Rangers 2 Penguins 1

Henrik Lundqvist  - 4 – He wasn’t tested a ton, but three big saves on Crosby was enough for a great effort. He was really dialed in on redirection plays in tight, and made two saves on tips that were going in.

Marc-Andre Fleury  - 4 – He didn’t get much help in his own zone at times, but made big saves on Hagelin, Stepan, and Zuccarello. He hasn’t hurt his team this series, giving them a chance every night.

 

Wild 3 Blues 0

Devan Dubnyk - 5 – Outstanding. He was dominant, made positional saves as well as some very good in tight plays on scrambles. His rebound control has been dominant, with great saves on Ott and Stastny to frustrate the Blues.

Jake Allen - 3 – He didn’t have much of a chance on the goals against, but big saves on Parise, Coyle and Koivu. He was deep on the Parise goal though. He’ll have to steal a game for St.Louis to get back in this series.

 

Ducks 5 Jets 4 (OT)

Frederik Andersen - 3 –He won a hard fought game. There was a lot of traffic and scrambles, and some bad turnovers in front of him (Fowler), but he can bail his team out with big saves. He was sharp on the Lowry deflection, and on the Frolik rebound, and had a game-saver on Little with less than a minute left in regulation.

Ondrej Pavelec - 2 - All five goals against, there was a man open in front/back door of net. The game-winning goal was a deflection that went between his legs. He was over aggressive on times he needed to be patient, and got away from his control game; it would have given him a chance on a few goals against.
