Goalies are fickle, and a great goalie can go ice cold, or a bad goalie can get red hot at just the right or wrong time and it is very noticeable due to the position they play.
Last year the Preds had the Vezina winner during the regular season but he ended up being the weak link in the playoffs, yet the year before the same goalie probably would have won the Conn Smythe had the Preds beat the Pens in the finals.
