Goaltending has been a key story line for the Washington Capitals and host Pittsburgh Penguins, who have had opposite results so far as they head into Sunday's matinee.
The Capitals opened the season with two wins at Buffalo, the first 6-4 with Ilya Samsonov in net, and the second 2-1 with Vitek Vanecek making 30 saves in his NHL debut.
It's unclear which goaltender will start Sunday, or Tuesday in a rematch with Pittsburgh, but Vanecek certainly made an impression after logging five seasons in the minor leagues.
"I'm impressed with how he handled everything," Washington center Nicklas Backstrom said of the 25-year-old Vanecek.
