Ondrej Pavelec and Phillippe Grubauer were the stars of the show last night in the Battle of the Backups. They made a combined 67 saves –30 for Pavelec– as both went 65 minutes without allowing a goal. The Rangers eventually won in the shootout after two rounds, as Pavelec also stopped both of his shootout attempts.
I laughed when Mike Milbury made a comment about how both teams were starting their backup goalies. He is truly the worst announcer I’ve ever listened to. He was really riding that too, even in the third period.
