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.

Lightning 6, Rangers 5 (OT)

Ben Bishop - 3 - It was a tough start. He allowed two quick goals that he doesn't pick up: Brassard's shot with a good screen by Kreider and Fast's nice move on a breakaway. He was a battler all game on scrambles. Fast's second goal was a rebound play he didn't track. Boyle's game-tying goal was a scramble that hit his glove off a tip and the rebound went out front to the open net. He battled but must be better next game to come out on top.

Henrik Lundqvist - 2 - He made a big save on Killorn early. The Bolts tried to get him moving all night long with seam plays. He had some issues with rebounds with Stamkos taking advantage of one with the first goal. Palat's goal went off Girardi's stick, he had no chance on Johnson's back-door goal and Killorn's shot was a rocket shelf shot. His inside out approach sometimes gets him caught as he looks real deep on plays and there is no margin for error. Palat's goal was a movement goal that went in on the short side. He made a great save on Brown's breakaway in overtime, but gave up a bad goal on the game-winner. He was deep in his net and got beat on a clean shot. Not sharp at all in Game 3.
