Each night during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, TSN Hockey analyst and former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan provides his Post 2 Post rankings for every goaltender in action.

Cam Talbot (3) - Talbot had some shaky moments in this game, as the third and tying goal he allowed was due to poor rebound control. He had big saves on Ryan Getzlaf, Josh Manson, Corey Perry and Rickard Rakell. Bailed out by his team in the third, he had another scramble play where Leon Draisaitl saved a goal against. He was just average on Wednesday night and has more to give. 

John Gibson (2) - Gibson was sharp early on in the game, with no chance on two goals he allowed. He made great saves on Anton Slepyshev, Mark Letestu, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid, but unraveled as the game went on and looked unsettled and jittery in the third period when the Oilers pressed. The game-winning goal hit Josh Manson's skate, but he didn't seal the post properly to get out front on the play. 


Jake Allen (2) - He was not that sharp on Wednesday night and had a tough time finding sight lines to track the puck. The game-winner in the third period was a poor decision to swipe at puck and it got poked under him. Allen showed some rust on his game.

Pekka Rinne (3) - He had a strong start and was really sharp early on when the Blues pushed. He made key saves on Colton Parayko, Vladimir Sobotka, Jaden Schwartz, Alex Steen and Vladimir Tarasenko, then found a way to dig in when it mattered at the end of the game. Sobotka's goal was on him - short side from the outside dot.
