The Columbus Blue Jackets will be led into the first round of the playoffs undoubtedly by their uncontested number one goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. Meanwhile for Washington, Braden Holtby is still their starting goalie; however Philipp Grubauer is making a case to potentially start a few playoff games if things begin to swing south for the Capitals.
Bobrovsky is coming off of a very strong season for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Bob posted a career high in minutes played with 3,912 and a save percentage of .921 which is exactly .001 higher than his career average.
