Skinner was not stopping any of those 3 goals. 2 on 1 (looked like an awfully lazy back check by 97 there. Ovechkin like) A deflection and ricochet that landed on Cooley’s stick, and a point blank laser from Crouse. I’ll take goaltending like that from my backup. Now let’s go find a starter. Pickard has both looked better and posted better numbers than Skinner in the playoffs and through the first quarter of this season.

Pickard had to make a very fast lateral move to get a huge save to stop Utah from going up 4-3 late. Does Skinner make that save?

Our 1st D pair is becoming very erratic. Seems both Bouch and Ekholm really want to be creating offense all the time lately. Both guys get caught up ice a lot, but obviously Bouch is not as good at the whole recovery part. Would like to see them settle down a little bit. Feel like the bottom 2 pairs are slowly becoming more and more reliable as time goes on.
