1. It Don’t Come Easy
It’s hard to ask the goalies in this series to do more than what they’ve done so far (not so fast, Vitek... you can sit this one out).
At five-on-five, Ilya Samsonov is a perfect 21-for-21 in saving medium-danger shots, and Sergei Bobrovsky has nearly matched him at 28-for-29 (.966); on low-danger shots, it’s Bob who’s perfect (34-for-34) and Samsonov who has allowed just one puck to slip past (36-for-37, .973). On the penalty kill, it’s a similar story - Samsonov is 4-for-4 on medium-danger chances and 6-for-6 on low-danger shots (throw in a 3-for-3 on high-danger opportunities for good measure); Bobrovsky hasn’t been quite as good, going 1-for-2 on medium-danger shots and 15-for-16 (.
